 There's a fair number of Canucks on the list but the only one in
Montreal I can recall is Doug Spence <hrothgar_at_total.net>
 Haven't seen any posts from him for a while but he should still
have his old collection and possible treasure bin sources. There
was a very good place in St. Laurent that had lots of good stuff but
last I heard they had some hassle with the city licensors. Doug
would know if they are still in business. I'm in Toronto but have kids
and grandchildren there so I occasionally visit.

 Yeah, you gotta envy those California guys, if it doesn't all slide
into the Pacific. :^))
