Hello,
Any suggestions for a decent SIP provider in Canada. I want a Winnipeg phone number to use for business calls, but I want it to be VOIP with a soft phone client option. I want people to be able to call this phone number from their land line/mobile phone. I would like the softphone client to be non proprietary (multi-platform). I don't want to run an Asterisk server in my basement (at this point). ;) I want it to be reliable.

Les.net has been working great for me. SIP/IAX/H.323, and he'll even do voice mail for you if you want. You can register a phone to his proxy.

I'd also recommend Les. I have a number of DID's (phone#'s) through him. I have them generally pointed to my asterisk box, but I've also had them setup to go to another soft-client on my pc, or on my iPhone, or a SPA3102 device I have .. they all work well. There is even the ability to route the incoming call to a redirected phone # (ie: another land-line if you wish) -- and this can be done all dynamically in real-time on the self-serve web-page he's setup.
You can even setup a fail-over -- if an incoming call can't connect to one end-point, you can set it up to try another instead ...
Easy to use too .. and for me, it's cost effective.

Thanks for the info guys. I just had a talk with Les and it sounds like a good deal.
Are there good hardware SIP phones in the city that people would recommend?

you could either get a SIP hard-phone or get an adapter .. i use an spa3102 .. but it also allows interfacing to a land-line as well .. if you just want the "phone" interface, then you can get a standard pap2-na device .. as long as it's not locked to a provider. Les may have some in stock you could buy, or you can buy them on-line -- like I did ... (I did unlock a locked one prior, but it's better to get one that is not locked or restricted in case you reset the firmwares etc).
with a pap2-na device, you can then use a wireless home phone etc ...
