Hi everyone - I appreciate the comments.

However most of them had nothing to do with the Continental Vancos that I’ve found :)  Yes I understand how difficult it is to find them, which is why i was excited when i found this option.  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!!

Will keep you posted on feedback i receive on the Continentals.

Thanks
Jeff
