Pretty easy. Starbucks / Tim Hortons / McDonalds all have WiFi (McDonalds tends to be universally terrible though.

The City of Vancouver is also rolling out free WiFi -

The phone company (Telus) also operates a network of free hotspots -

The cable company (Shaw) also does, but you often have to be a Shaw subscriber to connect to those.
