    Security Intelligence Technologies

    Wannabe G-men won't find a better place to pick up surveillance and counter-surveillance gear. Some patrons seem to be here for a laugh, but others are very serious indeed. Check out the Predator VI night-vision goggles, Air Tasers, line-bug detection devices - everything your paranoid little heart desires.

    Compusmart

    Probably the best all-round retailer of computer software and hardware in Montréal - good enough that Future Shop will refer you here if you can't find the right item. Prices are competitive though higher than across the border in the US, but if you need it, you need it.
