Where are you located in Canada?
In Ontario their are several physical store front companies including:
*Sayal my favourite has several Ontario locations . . . all with a VERY good assortment of boxes . . . note that the stores are great, but their web site sucks
www.sayal.com
*Creatron in downtown Toronto has a FANTASTIC selection of Auduino and associated accessories like shields and xBee modules of every sort
*Active Electronics has several Ontario locations
*Active Surplus in downtown Toronto . . . you never know what you will find here and stock changes so buy if you like it now, cause it will not be there the next time you come.
*KW Surplus in Kitchener, Ontario where you will also need to buy it when you see it if you like it
(no web site)
*A-1 Electronics Parts

NOTE that Creatron and Active Surplus are located just a few blocks from each other in Toronto, so if you go to one . . . make the pilgramage to the other at the same time
BTW - Radio Shack was replaced with a crappy chain called The Source, and they still carry a few project boxes . . . keep an eye out, because they frequently clear out their inventory of electronic components by offering knobs, buttons, switches . . . and boxes . . . at 50-70% off. I am sure that they will be completely out of the small component business within a year or two.
