Post-War Disposal of military vehicles in Canada?

[Bruce Parker (RIP)]

The closest I've seen is in Ontario in the late 70's when the M series Dodges were let go. There was a dealer north of Toronto that had a long line of them. Pick one out, pay $1000 to $1500 (depending on condition and whether it was an M37, M43 or M152) and drive it home. I can only imagine the same situation a few decades earlier with CMP's or better.

I've heard that farmers were willing to pay upwards of $75 for a surplus Anson or Battle just for the tires. Many were disappointed to find they has (HAD HAD HAD. Gawd, I'm getting nervous now) already been removed. Driving through the Canadian west as late as the mid-80's you could still see yellow aircraft remains quite often.

Spell checkers cause problems? Hood a think it possible?
