Hi all,
Thanks to all who replied about gf icing sugar. First of all it is called
confectioner's sugar while powdered, superfine, or berry sugar is simply
a finer grind of regular granulated. Confectioner's sugar has cornstarch
added to prevent lumping (Joy of Cooking). Having said that, several
people said that some icing sugars have wheat starch rather than
cornstarch added so brand is important.

In Canada:

Redpath brand is most widely recommended as gf in Canada
Domino may be gf- check label for cornstarch
Safeway brand (same as Domino)
*Roger's uses wheat starch

in any case, as usual, if the label says 'starch' assume may not be gf

In US:

C&H can be obtained in Blaine or Point Roberts at a very good price
-probably widely available throughout the US

(thankyou to one poster for the advice to be nice to the customs official
when presenting bags of white powder at the border crossing) :)
