I AM going to upgrade the GPU in the future, so no need to tell me mine is crap... A suggestion on what a good new one I should get is welcome though. I appreciate any thoughts or opinions... Thanks.

It looks good to me, I can't really speak to Canadian pricing, but the build itself looks good. I would personally try to squeak out a little more money and get a better PSU, but the one you chose isn't a bad option.

As for a better GPU suggestion, that'll depend on what you're trying to accomplish. Generally speaking though, 1080p=GTX 1060, 1440p=GTX 1070, 4k=GTX 1080 or higher.

Can you go with a higher capacity ssd? Games like GTA-V, BF1, DOOM they all take anywhere from 60gb to 100gb in capacity. Future games will likely take up even more space in drive capacity.

There are the MSI Z170M Mortar, Gigabyte Z170-HD3 and the ASROCK Z270 Pro4, all would have allow you to overclock your 6600k for cheaper. The ASUS H170 can't overclock your CPU. If you don't care about overclocking, a H270+i5 7600 (3.5-4.1Ghz) would have been the better pick than the 6600k (3.5-3.9Ghz).

With the overclocking assumption of Z170/270 MB you can also switch to higher bandwidth RAM that is also cheaper than the Aegis 2133. In case of H270+7600 Kabylake, you can have RAM upto 2400Mhz.

Unless you don't like AMD, the MSI RX470 4GB Armor OC is the better pick compare to the GTX 1050 Ti ($211.99 after $15.00 rebate card + $9.99 Shipping @ Newegg CA vs $213.95 after $10.00 Mail-In Rebate +Shipping @ Vuugo).

And since currently we're operating under the assumption that you want the CPU overclocked and will be upgrading to a more powerful GPU, get a better PSU, like the Corsair CXM550 for example.
