To my knowledge, the Canadaan Government copyrights their topo map series
(the USA does not), which means that it's not likely that someone will
publish electronic versions.   Until the Canadian Feds do?  If you do run
across any, I'd be interested in hearing about it.  I've been thinking of
scanning the ones I have in for my own use, but that's an insignificant
amount and there's a *lot* of Canada.
