[Lab] Hardware shipping to Canada

Thu May 5 14:56:16 EDT 2011

I've put up a wiki page for this info here:
http://www.artengine.ca/modlab/index.php/Vendors_%26_Sources_for_Parts_%26_Materials_in_Ottawa

Feel free to modify/add to it of course. Just dropped in whatever I thought
of.

It's also linked off the main wiki page under resources.
