> I wound up picking Rogers - $7.50 for a week, with a 125M limit.   Believe it or not, that seemed like the best deal.   However, it's a bit of a pain to get them to sell you a card if you don't have a Canadian address.   I wound up using the address of my hotel, and that worked, but there was a lot of wrangling.

I believe that you will find that the phrase "cheap Canadian mobile data" 
is an oxymoron.  Your choices are basically Rogers and Fido which are the 
same company, and maybe Telus.  It's not very competitive at the low end, 
either for voice or for data.
