CC in Canada..what would you carry?

On a more serious note, the grip is the hardest part to conceal. A few years back, I got to play with a G17 that had been bastardized to take G26 magazine... Though it was a neat idea.
- 10rds on tap, easier to conceal
- Carry a full length 17rds magazine as a backup, in case you're dealing with a hoard of zombies
And from my seat-of-the-pant meter, it had less felt recoil than a PPK
Looks very well made compared to some work i've seen

I would go with a P229 or a Glock 19.
Car Keys maybe? This is Canada, while I support CCW, I don't actually feel the need/want to carry here.
If I had to carry because the world/Canada changed to something much more randomly dangerous, I would want the Ruger SP101 357 Mag, 2.25″ Revolver:
The Ruger SP101 revolvers fitted with the Crimson Trace LG-111 Defender Series Lasergrips are designed to put the shooter on target quickly and accurately. The Ruger SP101 model KSP-321CT has a spurless hammer for snag free carry and draw, features 2.25 inch barrel and fixed sights. These 5-shot stainless steel revolvers are chambered for .357 Magnum and can also fire .38 Special ammunition, including .38+P cartridges.
The Crimson Trace LG-111 Defender Series Lasergrips are constructed of hard durable polymer. The red beam laser is activated by a pressure switch located on the front of the grip, making it instinctively usable for right- or left-handed shooters. The laser is adjustable for windage and elevation using an Allen wrench (provided).
You Can Never Be Too Prepared. The SP101 revolver boasts the strength to handle the powerful .357 Magnum and .327 Federal Magnum cartridges in a controllable, small-framed double-action revolver. Among the most powerful small-frame revolvers on the market, they are engineered for solid performance. Featuring a recoil-reducing grip, the SP101 is comfortable to shoot and perfect for personal defense or field use.
Strong and reliable shot after shot, all SP101 revolvers boast solid steel sidewalls (no side-plates), making them rugged, reliable, and dependable. Available in .327 Federal Magnum, .38 Special and .357 Magnum (which also accepts the less expensive .38 Special cartridges), you can count on the SP101 when you need it.

Probably a Beretta Nano or a similarly compact pistol such as the Glock 43. It's small enough to be concealed even in light summer clothing and I fully trust the 9mm to be enough for almost everything.

Glock 43 or 26, unless it would be uncomfortable to shoot. Most people carry Glock 26.

Ruger SP101
I've been everywhere in Canada and extensively in BC. Everywhere at all times day or night. Never felt a problem. Not surrey, not east hastings not anywhere in Toronto.
As for the pressure diff of .38+p vs .357, it is more about getting used to a single load. I have a what of .38 and .38+p and I never shoot it. I'm just too in love with the .357. The round and I just click and work well together.
