It usually depends on stock levels and prices. I am new to the hobby and have ordered from the following:
German Games - They generally speaking have the lowest game prices in Canada and a flat rate Ontario shipping of 10 dollars. Its usually good to wait and order 2-3 games so the shipping cost makes sense. (Ships from Kitchener, ON - next day arrival in Ottawa)
Geek Stop Games - These guys prices are either the same as German Games, or around $5 higher. They also have $10 shipping to Ontario, or FREE local delivery if you live in London, ON. I ordered a few games that were OOS at German Games. They were the same price, or a dollar or two more. (Ships from London, ON - received two days after purchase in Ottawa)
I have not yet ordered from Play Time Games as they are a new find for me, but they are based in Ottawa and do allow for local pickup. Their prices look the around the same as German/Geekstop, and Ill be able to save on shipping. I look forward to placing an order with them.
Other places I looked at ordering from was Godboma, just be careful to not order the games that have VF next to them as they are the french versions (QC based)! Also, Meeplemart seems to have some reasonable prices too. They are also a brick and mortar located in Toronto, I believe is $10 flat shipping in ON. And Starlit Citadel, their prices are generally $5 higher than German Games, but they do make some nice review videos!
I did have an opportunity to visit 401 Games this past weekend as I was in Toronto for an event, and I must say they have to be the cheapest brick and mortar around. If you live in Toronto, definitely check these guys out! Great selection too.
I would avoid Amazon and Chapters/Indigo (but watch for sales). Their regular prices are usually higher than the places I mentioned, and by $20-50 at that.
Edit Its actually kind of funny, Eclipse is on sale at Amazon.ca for $73 with free shipping. The lowest Ive seen Eclipse for in Canada is at the $70 range - I dont think youll be able to find it cheaper once you take shipping into account. If you planned on getting more than one game, then the other places may still work better.

or you could just get Eclipse instead ;)
Yeah, I'll come forward. That was me. I'm unsubscribing from this sub because it's just referral link spam. Yes, I see that juggernaut posted that he/she would post links to Amazon when they drop below CSI's price... but these are completely typical prices. I joined this sub to find special deals. Not just beef up someone's wallet by seeing a ton of links to prices that right in line with what they typically sell at on Amazon.
Here are some examples:
I don't see a single Amazon link from Juggernaut that is more than $5 off the average price and most are within a dollar, and sometimes even more expensive than average.
If you all want to subscribe to this sub and pad juggernaut's wallet, be my guest. I'm unsubscribing.
Here's an Amazon link without a referral code: http://www.amazon.com/Asmodee-ECLI01USASM-Eclipse-Board-Game/dp/B006L7KIWG
EDIT: Amazon has it in stock!

But you are literally saying the exact same thing xTheOOBx was saying other than "I don't agree".
If the game is well stocked, it is significantly cheaper than local stores. If it isn't well stocked, it is only a little bit cheaper than your local stores. The only exception is MayFair games, where they have a cap on their retail discount.
And for what it is worth:

Some other games I just stumbled across.
24% Off,
31% Off, 34% Off
It looks like when I said "frequently between 30% and 40%, I was pretty damn close. It's okay to want to support the local game stores, as we all have said, they provide something more than just the game. I visit the same exact stores you do, and I know "not that much cheaper" is down right false. Buying games online is almost a buy 2-3 get 1 free - and that's not considering any significant sale.

Here's what I'd do if I had to rebuild a collection from scratch for $1k trying to have a wide variety of play styles:
7 Wonders $32.99
Agricola $45.79
Battlestar Galactica $39.97
Carcassonne $30.02
Carcassonne Inns & Cathedrals$15.71
Dixit $22.65
Dominion Big Box $69.18 Prosperity is one of the best expansions; Alchemy is not, but you're pretty much getting it for free in this set.
Eclipse $61.49 It wouldn't be a board game library without a 4X game, and I think Eclipse is the best currently.
Eldritch Horror $40.47 - I love Arkham Horror, but Eldritch streamlines a lot of the fiddly rules of the original.
Formula D [$41.96] (http://www.amazon.com/Asmodee-FDUSASM-Formula-D/dp/2914849648/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1395757676&sr=1-1&keywords=formula+d)

Race for the Galaxy $24.11
Resistance, The $17.99
Roborally $37.49
