bigwhyte,
Living in their home-town, we can't mention our cruising plans without hearing about the Northern Magic. Other Canadian titles, you might want to check out are:
"The Sailing Promise" - Alayne Main;
"All in the Same Boat" and "Still in the Same Boat" - Paul Howard and Fiona McCall;
"Cruising for Cowards" and 3 or 4 other titles - Liza Copeland;
and I second the recommendation for the many Pardey books (ok, only Larry is Canadian).
Also, not Canadian but can't resist mentioning here; the Bumfuzzle logs are a good read - you can find them at bumfuzzle.com
Enjoy,
Kevin
