I've recently found a good place for people living on the east coast of Canada

Green Lyph Computers Halifax, NS

Prices are pretty comparable to some US sites even, and they only really carry high end stuff. Customer services is pretty great too.

Local GTA Canadian Sites:

http://www.gogocomputers.com

http://www.infonec.com

These are probably the cheapest stores around the GTA area.

Probably worth noting that dabs.com also have a French site. www.dabs.com/fr

Dabs are my favourite for general hardware, they have been very reliable.
