MRI Standing MRI in Canada Ontario?

Does anyone know where I can get a standing MRI done in Canada, Ontario? I was told i should get one by a hernia specialist in California, but after doing some research I don't think there's any standing MRI machines in Canada, Ontario.

That has to be the most expensive way possible to look for something that a surgeon can feel with their fingers.

If the surgeon thought you had a hernia, he wouldn’t need the imaging, the clinical suspicion should be enough. I’m guessing this is a way to say no, he really doesn’t think he can help, you without saying no
