The WS70s would be my pick of those 3. I'm just south of Ottawa though, and I deal with more snow that ice most of the time (country roads). Here's a review of the WS70s (http://www.canadiandriver.com/2010/02/16...r-tire.htm)
I've been really happy with both my Toyo Observe G02s on my Mazda (call OK Tire for pricing) and the Hankook iPike W409s on my Focus. The Hankooks are almost the same as the General Altimax Arctic from Canadian Tire, and they will be a little cheaper than Costco.
Unfortunately, I don't have any good tire contacts in Ottawa anymore. You could try http://www.ottawatiresdirect.com/ if you want, or do what I do now, and go with The Tire Rack (http://www.tirerack.com/) and have them shipped to the UPS store in Ogdensburg. Tire Rack is also really good for tire reviews too.
