......... Canada did have it's own home grown radio industry and didn't simply import US made sets. However because the market had different tastes even the Canadian divisions of American manufacturers like RCA, G.E and even Philco designed and manufactured a lot of Canada only models...........

One of the things I enjoy about the Internet is seeing a lot of the Canadian radios that don't show up around here. Yeah, the Addison Catlin sets show up a lot, but there are a lot of Canadian radios that don't, and many of those are really cool. Three that come immediately to mind is a round top (cathedral shape) Templetone consolette and the Canadian Westinghouse radio that has popped up on the television show Two and 1/2 Men. The third is the beautiful Rogers that member Dan Walker recently restored.
