You can buy a prepaid phone with minutes from any of the providers- generally Verizon has the best coverage and highest cost. We're very happy with T-Mobile's coverage/ cost ratio.
If your existing phone can have the SIM card removed, you can use it with a US SIM card (which is tied to a US phone #) and that will also disconnect your CAN number when you take the SIM card out.
You'll need to look at your usage: data, text, calls within US, calls to CAN, other international calls. Then pick the provider and their plan that fits your needs. I still have a cheap flip phone that I bought in Costa Rica as part of a prepaid plan years ago. At some point I'm going to use it! ;-)
