I got some MEC Blast XCR gloves last winter and these are the best pair of gloves I ever had! They are warm and yet you can move your hands well. I only used them down to -15 degrees C (Celcius or Canadian, your choice) as last Winter was quite warm. I also have some MEC Yukon Gore-Tex mitts and I don't recommend them for cycling, not enough dexterity. Braking (2 finger levers) and shifting (Grip Shift) are not easy.
