They have 'building block' systems that allow you to start small and add speakers and power amps as you need them. Also the exchange rate with Canada makes anything you buy an even better deal.

dont buy any fender passport amps! Fender is a wonderful company however I really dont like their p.a systems. Personally if you are on a budget you should buy a peavey system with six or eight channels and buy a mic package. ***Remember what is more important getting gigs or having the power to play at them.
