Starspeak Skyfighter, maybe.
Considering that's an SDCC exclusive, I don't think Canadian trademark laws will apply to it, though!  At least, I'd hope not.

That's kinda messed up.  Is the Skystriker being renamed to Skyfighter in the States, too?  Or is it just the Canadian release and the SDCC one?

Regular Release:

Canada (and perhaps other countries) will have the SKYFIGHTER
USA will have SKYSTRIKER


SDCC:

Unknown - however the link regarding the SDCC I posted above seems to say that it will be skyfighter.

This link is from Transformers Philipines, so maybe all international (non-US) trademarks were expired?  I remember the ROC Night Raven being renamed "Night Bird" in the UK, because of that legal problem.

So will we be getting a different sticker sheet? I certainly hope not. I was probably going to buy these from the States (and be horribly gouged) anyway but would obviously prefer to buy locally - again, not that I've had much luck finding Joe stuff locally. I don't know about you guys but I wouldn't want the sides of my SkyStriker adorned with stickers that make it seem like it's some cheap bootleg.
