There are a few,
mainducoyote in Quebec,
Jet Sanchez in TO
and I think Junk Yard Bike is somewhere in Ontario, I'm sure they will chime in.

And I have chatted with Jet Sanchez a few times, but had no idea he's in Toronto. Hopefully he will chime in.
And of course Toronto is in Ontario...
And if I ever find a bike in BC, I will keep that in mind.
Where in BC? Vancouver?

Hey now! Cyclotoine and Antipodes are both Canadians (in Victoria), and how could you POSSIBLY forget Sixty Fiver (who will be visiting your fair city shortly, or so I hear ).

You are out there, aren't you? I've been to the Okanogan on the U.S. side of the border, once, and then crossed over into Canada to do some backpacking. Absolutely beautiful up there.
Only problem was the Canadian police didn't like the way I looked (at the time), so they did an extensive search for contraband. Didn't find any, of course, I was as straight as an arrow. Just didn't look it.

I was born and raised in T.O., went to uni at McGill, but I now reside in Winnipeg. I wasn't into road bikes while I lived out east - had a fully rigid KHS MOntana Comp, and that was enough for me. The operative word is "was".
I think the king of all C+Vers resides in Toronto - Mike Barry of Mariposa Cycles, ret. If you haven't laid eyes on the museum that is Bicycle Specialties, you owe it to yourself. I'm not sure if the bikes are still there, though... apparently the painter is still doing restorations out of the space, but I think all framebuilding operations have ceased.

I though EH was thinking I was going somewhere in Canada... Portland tops my list for travel destinations (it is my only destination) and I am looking to get down there as soon as is humanly possible.

Yep, as already mentioned, I am in Toronto but I have been on a selling spree lately and only have 3 bikes left! And only 2 of those are C&V, my Ciocc and my Colnago Sport. But, I am sure that the stable will multiply by the end of the summer 
And Blue Order, I finally tracked down one of those coral Bianchis at a used shop here in Toronto. I rode it and it was fine but I think I am sort of over it now as the bike didn't really perform that well----it was rather sluggish and not too quick. I guess I have been spoiled by having a Ciocc as a daily rider.
Another C&V member in Toronto is the person who posted all of the Miyata catalogues a few months ago, his BF handle escapes me right now. J T CUNNINGHAM is also in Toronto and gave me some very good advice regarding chroming a frame. tuz is another Canuck member who has a couple of Marinonis and he may play a part in getting my Ciocc re-painted by Marinoni, I am just waiting on a fork for it (finally tracked down one that will fit but it is currently in transit).
What help do you need, Blue Order?

See what happens when one sleeps 11 hours! (the whole world changes)
Yes, I am here now; I should be awakening at 10:30, not 5:30 AM!

Hey I'm here too 
. I have 4 C&V bikes, that is lugged steel but with modern (ish: 1996 at most ) components. I'm in Toronto but from Montréal.
I'll post some pictures of my repainted Marinoni and of my new acquisition, a pretty nice Ryffranck (small builder from Sherbrooke, QC), soon.
