Default Yup...

..the OSHAWA WALKERVILLE REGINA plate came in in 1929 and was used until 1942. However it was anachronistic because Regina opened 1929, closed 1930, re-opened and closed 1931 and then re-opened 1938 and closed 1941. They still used the plate though! Walkerville's assembly was also spasmodic..1929-32 or say 1937 and that was it! After 1935 Walkerville was of course part of the new city of Windsor, and again the plates were anachronistic as the Canadian Products plant became 'Windsor Transmission Plant'. In addition there was also McKinnon Industries Limited in St Catherines, Ontario, although it was never an assembly plant.

If you ever did find a 1938-41 GM of Canada vehicles assembled in Regina, then the plant code '8' appears after the model code, whereas Oshawa was '0'.
