I enjoy "Black & White Photography", also British but not the same as 
"B&W", the German "Schwarzweiss" which Tom Abrahamson kindly passes 
my way after he reads it, "Lenswork" and "View Camera". The latter 
two are West Coast US magazines which have a rather higher quality 
than most US or Canadian magazines. "Lenswork" is from Anacortes, WA 
which is about as close to Vancouver as Seattle, so it can be 
considered 'local'. :-)

I don't subscribe to these magazines, as they would cost considerably 
more to subscribe to than to buy at a newstand. The places I buy them 
charge me the US amount, but I pay in Canadian Dollars.

I still look at Shutterbug for the same reasons I did years ago; for the ads.
