I like the Canon EF-S 10-22mm for its build, sharpness, and autofocus, but I’d prefer a wider-angle option with a noticeably larger maximum aperture. Is there a comparable ultra-wide lens that works on Canon cameras, either in Canon mount or via an adapter?

If your focus is Landscape and going on the title of you question alone; "Better 10-22mm lens for Canon?":
Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8G ED AF-S Nikkor
From what I read in photo and landscape magazines a lot of landscape pros go through the trouble and mount this Nikon lens on a Canon body. Using an adapter ring this will give you manual focus only (i think) but that is a non issue in landscape photography (tripod and manual focusing) and when image quality and "tack sharp" is most important.

A commonly recommended faster alternative is the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 in Canon mount. It’s well regarded for image quality and gives you a constant f/2.8 aperture, though you lose some range compared with 10-22mm.
Another option mentioned is the Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 used on Canon via an adapter. That can offer excellent image quality, but adapting it typically means giving up autofocus, so it’s mainly practical for tripod-based work such as landscapes.
If you can accept a less ultra-wide focal length, Canon’s EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS is also worth considering. It’s much faster than the 10-22mm and adds stabilization, but it does not cover the same ultra-wide range.
So if your priority is keeping an ultra-wide view and gaining aperture, the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 is the closest fit from the answers provided.
