I do not recommend MSI Wind as a brand (I own a U100). The keyboard design is awkward and the preinstalled drivers often have bizarre incompatibilities... not designed really for an optimal end-user experience. And the warranty support is quite badly managed. I had to pay my own way to ship my netbook to Markham for battery repair, and then when they returned it the mouse key was broken and had to be reshipped a second time.
I'm not a giant Dell fan but at least with them you know what you're getting :) Acer is mentioned here too and they're pretty solid. And Asus pretty much pioneered this form factor before the other manufacturers got into it.
Check out pricecanada.com if you have any particular model in mind and want to compare prices. All the vendors on that site are Canadian or priced in Canadian dollars.
