Dunno where in Vancouver you live but:

An appropriately sized "test plug" should work. Shows in stock in a few stores in my area

In a pinch I've managed to use a "heavy duty" Latex balloon to plug it.

You can shut the water off and flush to get the majority of the water out. Then you put the balloon down into the bottom of the toilet and inflate the balloon. It'll create a seal and form to the bowl.

Not sure how the wax ring will hold up to high water pressure if it's an old toilet in your basement though.
