Linux Product Sources in Canada

I am compiling a list of Online Stores and Offline stores in Canada that
sell or provide linux related stuff. When I get a reasonable sized list I
will post them on the web as well as to this list.

I wondering if any of you know of any more could you please e-mail me
their particulars. I am looking for info like name of store, location,
types of products and whether they are online and accept orders etc. If
they do have an online presence then info like whether they use secure
servers or take orders in Canadian funds would also be useful.

I may even make an online submission form this weekend if I feel
adventurous. :)

As you can see I currently have a pretty short list. :) It seems that
Online ordering is in it's infancy in Canada, but a few months ago it was
pretty much non-existant, so I guess that is progress. They do need more
secure servers though. Now I realize that while 40 bit encryption is next
to useless it is still not as bad as plain text.

Here are some that I am currently aware of. Please feel free to suggest
additional information fields or any correction or ammendments to the
information I have here.
