I don't think they're super hot on Pentax/Ricoh, but I've personally met a Ricoh rep that was spending the day there recently. And they do stock a decent selection of lenses. But most salesmen don't seem to know much about the brand.
On an unrelated note, most Montreal (and other Canadian) camera stores have been running a "Nikon Full Frame Sales Event" over the last month (see the
Nikon Canada page about the sale). Hard not to think that the timing is related to the K-1 launch...
