Currently in eastern Canada

We've nearly ended the first week of a 5 week jaunt in eastern Canada and won't be crossing back into B.C for another 4 weeks.

There are a lot of thrift stores in the Montréal and Ottawa areas but for the most part, thrifting for collectibles (vintage Canadian ones at that) is difficult and generally much more expensive too (non-profits or otherwise) though we have made some finds (the Catholic thrift stores, Society of St Vincent de Paul ones) are often the best for prices.

The best thing is that the non-profits in Québec and Ontario don't charge sales tax.
