Do DVDs in Canada and the UK have the same regional codes?

If I bought a DVD player in Canada, would it work with my DVDs from the UK?
If so, which could you reccomend?
My current player says my DVDs have a regional code that does not work with my DVD player, and I purchased it in the US.

Answer
No.

Answer
For HD you need a Blu-ray player, not a DVD player. That said, one of the most reasonable is the Insignia player sold at Best Buy (it's their house brand). Netflix and Best Buy just announced a partnership (See link). In Canada the basic player sells for $170 (2nd link).

I suggest anyone replacing a DVD player these days consider a Blu-ray player. Why? Because, that way you have the capability to play Blu-ray disks if/when you find them at an acceptable price, and in the meantime Blu-ray players make a good upscaling DVD player for your existing collection.
