Tech2 is your best bet. Or just leave it alone.

Edit: best non-hacky bet. You can bypass it as mentioned in an above post.

Using a Tech II, RPO Z49 can be deleted from the BCM to eliminate this mandatory feature in Canadian cars.

As mentioned in a link above, it can also be permanently bypassed by unplugging the Twilight Sentinel light sensor and connecting in its place a 4.7k ohms resistor.

Yes, it is one of the fan relays and it has nothing to do with the Twilight Sentinel. If you don't have access to a Tech-2 the easiest way to disable this in a Canadian model is by using a resistor in place of the light sensor, as mentioned above in Post 5.
