A lot of them seem to be from publisher Bragelonne, who are DRM-free, and normally price their stuff starting at $8.99 CAD and above.
It's actually a really good selection today if you read science fiction in French, whether translated or otherwise: they have some Pierre Pevel and Fabrice Colin (both winners of the Prix Imaginaire) as well as other French-native sf/fantasy authors, and translated titles by Connie Willis, Arthur C. Clarke, Kim Newman, Tanya Huff, and more. I'd rather a stable list to choose from at my leisure over the weekend, but if they really are going to switch in a bunch of new $3.99+5x Bonus Points SF/F titles every day, I think I'll actually be buying a lot more from the French Canada sale than the English one.

Possibly related, a similar sale in
France by Chapitre.com and Kobobooks.
See my post on the general bargain thread
But the price is only 0.99 euros. I am interested to know whether it is accessible outside France.
