Interesting - they told me 7-10 days? None local but that they were available. Hmm.

Both Vanco and Vancontact seem to be 102 rated and either 8 or 10 ply. If these really are available at Canadian Tire it will hopefully help a few people out. I’m not interested in shipping them from bus depot or any other site in the US - shipping is crazy stupid to Canada it seems. You are all teasing me with options that aren’t economically available to me up here!!
