You may need to try some online resources like solidsignal.com, summitsource.com, warrenelectronics.com, etc. Local retailers usually cannot offer too many makes/models of antennas.

From what I've read, a lot of people in Toronto are having a lot of success with the Channel Master 4221/4228HD set up in their attics. Do you have any opinion on this antenna?

That is a good antenna, but it is only for UHF stations. It will work great for most of your stations, but it won't work for channels like WNGS. It may also have a hard time with some of your local analog VHF stations, although they are so much closer that you might pick them up anyway. If you don't mind dropping WNGS, then the 4221 will work well.
I'm also not sure what the Canadian broadcasters are planning to do when they switch completely to digital broadcasts (Aug 31, 2011). If some of them are planning to retain their VHF broadcast channels, then you may need to consider the VHF performance of your antenna or plan on changing antennas later.
