Yeah I say Kensington Market too, some good deals can be found just off the main area there. When I was there last they got good deals on military surplus stuff.

For Vancouver I'd say Value Village, try the one in Burnaby that seems to be the best, the one on Hastings usually gets picked out, the one on Victoria Dr is okay. The rest is a waste of time.

Jean Queen is a good place for decent prices the store is small but it's worth stopping by if your on Commercial Dr.

The hip vintage places in Vancouver charges a grip for gear.

Toronto:

If you have a car check Goodwill (By the pound location). Its not located downtown T.O anymore but may be worth the trip since your not looking for the typical hipster shops such as the ones located in Kensington.

Thrift Town in Parkdale. Haven't been in awhile but it used to be good.

There are a lot of small vintage shops located all over the city so you may want to check the local yellowpages, canada 411 etc....
