Try Archambault for music out of Québec, they have almost everything. And provide international shipping, but international orders have to be placed over the phone, check the faq. They can at times be more expensive then Amazon.ca, but will always have all the music released from Québec, and also offer mp3s for download saving shipping cost if you don't care about the actual CD.
EDIT: Prices are in $CDN so they aren't as bad as you might think

Web shop that doesn't allow ordering from web ?

They surely lost one of their future customer !

I think I'll just stick to amazon.ca if I need stuff from Canada.

And who would pay for mp3 ??!?! If you are gonna pay for music it must be quality stuff...

No, only international orders are not from the web, they ship to the US and Canada from the website, but don't get enough international orders to make it worthwhile to include web shipping for them yet. They are still a really small local company, especially compared to sites like Amazon. So for now all you have to do for interanational orders is assemble your order on the webpage and call them or you can email them to place it. I thought it was more considerate than just saying no international orders, like a lot of US based sites do, and yes no international shipping includes no shipping to Canada. Because they specialize in French music form Québec most of their sales are in Québec, a lot of these artists CDs can't be found outside of the province, even in Canada.

Well, it's still silly !

Usually when shop won't ship abroad is because it's expensive, not because it's extra work to add one text box to order form.

Since the money isn't the problem in this case, I don't really see why they makes it so hard to order... It really doesn't make any sense... It just makes life harder for both, the customer and the shop.

Only thing I can see is country's have different laws about credit card fraud, and they might not want to bother dealing with the problems that can occur with fraudulent orders that might occur in other countries yet. Dealing with any that occur here is probably enough. But you can always write an email complaining about it, I do find it strange they don't offer international shipping to at least the EU, after all you can't say that there isn't a market in France for French music, and on Amazon.ca you can often see in the comments complaints that the CDs aren't carried by Amazon.fr yet. But the website hasn't been around that long yet, and seems to be mostly interested in catering to Québecers.

Oh damn...Tal Bachman. I forgot all about him. I actually used to own his CD, until I sold it (along with a lot of other CDs) for gas money to see my girlfriend in the summer of 2002.
