Rob,
You've probably already found where the Canadian gov't sells charts:
http://www.charts.gc.ca/index-eng.asp

Scans of current charts of Canadian waters are not freely available
since the data is protected by copyright.

US federal vessels can get free data for their electronic nav systems
at http://dnc.nga.mil/NGAPortal/DNC.portal and it looks like most
anybody can download the data, if they have a way to use it. It
includes much of the world, including Canada.

NOAA's historical maps & charts project has charts that include some
areas of Canada adjacent to US waters.
http://historicalcharts.noaa.gov

At DavidRumsey.com, 'nautical chart canada' nabs one result
http://www.davidrumsey.com/luna/servlet/s/80kv52

The only other source of charts I used for my master's thesis was the
New York Public Library's digital collections -- that same search
gives two results:
