Cynthia: If you just need a Canadian server, not a Canadian corporation, 
check out Site5[1]. Not sure if they are exactly what you are looking 
for, but they have the standard one-click install ControlPanel stuff. 
Not sure about the automated backup options you're looking for. I've 
been using them for a few years, and have zero complaints.

Riley: Really? Why would we be hard pressed to find that in Canada?
