Looking at Amazon Canada and Kobo, the Kobo Libra Colour has a 7" Kaleido3 colour screen, 32GB of memory and is selling for $290 Cdn while the Amazon Colorsoft with the same 7" Kaleido3 colour screen and 16GB of memory is selling for $350 Cdn. The Amazon Colorsoft SE give you the 32GB of memory plus wireless charging but the price jumps to $400 Cdn. For entry versions, the Kobo Clara BW has a 6" B&W screen with 16GB of memory for $160 Cdn (current sale price, regular price is $180 Cdn). This included a variable colour backlight and IPX8 waterproofing. The Kindle Basic has the same 6" B&W screen and 16GB of memory but lacks the variable colour backlight and waterproofing for $190 Cdn.

Current exchange rate would have the Libra Colour for ~$210 US, the Colorsoft for ~$255 US, The Clara BW for ~$116 US (~$130 US after the sale) and the Kindle Basic for ~$138 US.

And before someone brings it up, there are no lockscreen ad supported versions in Canada.
