I live in Ontario, Canada... we have tinting laws here(I don't know exactly how dark I can have the car) So if you're from Ontario or know the laws in Ontario for tinting, please send me some input :D
Thanks

In Ontario, the tinting laws are a bit retarded. Well the rear doors (if you have rear doors) and backlight can be pretty much painted over if you wanted to, provided your mirrors can view around the car otherwise. So you can go down to 5% safely on rear door glass and on the backlight.
Nothing is allowed on the windshield that the car was not manufactured with.
The front door glass you're pretty much safe/"legal" with 35% minimum--don't go darker than that and cops won't usually bother you.
Now "legal" is in quotes above because in Ontario, the front doors' tint is actually a matter of officer discretion. Which means if you get a cop that doesn't like you for some reason they can give you a ticket even if you only have 35%. However most officers seem to have an "unwritten rule" of 35% being okay.
If you need more clarification see the Revised Statues of Ontario, Chapter H8--"The Highway Traffic Act" of Ontario. ;) But really it doesn't make it any easier to read that, lol, so just go with what I said--any reputable tint shop will tell you the same.

Thanks a lot :D I think I will do the 35% front, and pretty dark for the back seat and back window. Thanks for the input.
