Like so many other small cars sold worldwide, the manufacturers edit the owner's manual for North American (at least in the US) models so there is no recommended towing. As opposed to their European and Australian counterparts, which feature recommended towing capacities in the manual. Why? Not because the cars are any different in their abilities, just because of possible litigation. For example, the manual for my '08 Mazda does not allow for any towing, while the manual for the identical car overseas advises about 1300 lb. tow capacity. I'm not sure if that is the same in Canada; you may get lumped in with our overlitigiousness.
Try researching overseas owner's manuals for the same car. You'll probably find recommended capacities there...
