Am I missing something? Are micro usb cables super-rare in Canada?
Having said that, I'm a fan of Aliexpress too. As long as you choose reputable sellers by studying their feedback (as taros mentions), you can't beat shopping for stuff there in terms of price.
But a micro usb you can pick up pretty much anywhere for cheap. Yes, you can pay more for some, you can get cables with extra shielding, or braided or flat or whatever - that's gonna cost you more...but largely speaking, there shouldn't be any trouble walking into your local discount store and picking up a cheap micro usb cable.
