I'm curious - why do you need your own hardware at a colo site instead
of just renting a VPS?
If you want a VPS inside Canada, the biggest player (with, apparently,
really good support) is OVH.com. Well, at least until/unless Quebec
secedes, at which point whether they're "in Canada" or not depends on
where the border gets drawn :-). They'll also colocate your servers.
Also with a good reputation is Blackbridge
(http://www.blackbridge.com/networks/facilities/location.html).
However, keep in mind that $50/month for 3U of colo rack space is
actually a really good deal... one I don't think you'll be able to match
in Canada, at least not at reputable establishments. (I mean,
seriously, you could put your server in my rack for $50/month, but I can
only guarantee you about 10Mbps symmetric right now.)
