The local laws on bringing one's own wine and getting charged a corkage fee are in review if i recall correctly. They already do this in Alberta, but damn, if the corkage fees aren't enough to make you want to choke.
I think i would rather stick with picking an unfamiliar wine, although it is rare that the dining out experience has a wine list completely devoid of a single familiar name.
Even the local Montana's, Boston Pizza and Earls type places have recognizable wines. I've seen Robert Mondavi Woodbridge and Wolf Blass in some of the oddest places i never would have expected.
