I have a hunch the difference has to do with labelling laws between Canada and the US. They're much stricter here, and can't get away with "creative carb math" like they do in the states. Some things they allow to be called "functional fiber" in the states, it's not approved in Canada and must be declared as a full carb.
I would take the higher carb count just to be safe
