I've used MOO in canada without issue: https://www.moo.com/ca/
I've also had good experience with Blurb.ca

Easy online ordering, they know what they're doing. Great prices for short runs, even on some of the more unique items. Quality results, but make sure to leave extra time in case the items need to be reprinted. I've had prints come damaged or incorrect, but they've always been very quick to reprint without hassle. Great customer service. But if you leave your order to the last minute, you're playing with fire.

I didn't have the best experience with jukebox. But they are cheap.

^ Hemlock is not that affordable. They are serious printers like Glenmore or Met that quite often turn down small jobs and if they take them they outsource them. Glenmore is the more affordable but still need to go through a rep and request a quote that'll take a few days.
For affordable printing, I'd go with Clubcard.
Jukebox is not as good imo. They have the most inconsistent results.
Both are affordable options like Moo.Graphic Zoo is awful. They are not that different from Staples. Go in person to print bcards and they'll hand you 3 pieces of paper to choose from. The dude here with the ponytail is the only experienced guy and is always in a bad mood and the other 1 or 2 guys struggle with the concept of landscape vs portrait.

Clubcard and Jukebox for online ordering/gang printing. Usually just juggle whoever has the best sale going that month.
Jukebox I find has slightly better bcard options and pricing. Clubcard has been doing the gang printing in Vancouver since rave days, very consistent, great crew, great service. They also have an US office in San Fran.
I like Mitchell Press for bigger offset/web press projects requiring sales agents and a proper proofing process. Hemlock is fantastic too but definitely premium $$$.
Also would recommend Met Fine Printers for quality offset and specialty projects, excellent green technology too (as does Hemlock).
Who else ...
