Is there some up-to-date BB-authorized page that tells you exactly where you can officially purchase a new BB device?

Question

Good evening Device Support Forum.
I am trying to purchase a Q5 from an authorized carrier in Canada (ON, Canada). I don't have 5 years to devote to trying to correlate where I can buy the BB device that I want.
I tried hitting up: http://ca.blackberry.com/smartphones however the information is sadly not up-to-date.
This is my third attempt at trying to purchase a BlackBerry. It's getting tedious.
My question: (same as the Subject line) is:
Q> Is there some url that tells me exactly where I can officially purchase a new BB device?
1. I don't want a refurbished BlackBerry device that is being pawned off as a new BlackBerry device where I am asked to pay the price of a new BlackBerry device.
2. I don't want a BlackBerry device that does not come with a service warranty.
3. I do want a fresh BlackBerry device that comes with a carrier service warranty.
I would have liked to purchase a Q5 - it seems an impossible task since an official device doesn't seem to exist here in Ontario.
Note: Choosing the Q5 only because it is lighter to hold.
Before anyone suggests:
- I would have preferred the BB Classic but it's not possible to try one here.
- The Z30 is too heavy.
- Tried the Passport and it's heavy and too complex to navigate.
Upfront thanks for your time and any leads,

Here is my view. You always start with the carrier. What is best for you where you live, work, and play?
If you are set on buying the device from the carrier, then hopefully they sell BlackBerry, and sell the model you want. That was no longer the case for me, which led me to buy unlocked, unbranded (from Shop BlackBerry).
It doesn't take a huge investment in time to figure out what models (or sub-models) will work on your carrier. Google is your friend. Someone, in fact several people will have already done this for you.
As far as warranty, in almost all instances with Blackberry the warranty is handled by the seller. See http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Welcome-Introductions/How-Formal-Support-Works/td-p/2540533
