And what about Commodore Canada? I always understood that they were doing fairly well at the end also? In Canada, Commodore computers were hugely popular. You'd have labs full of Commodore 64s and PETs in the 1980s in Canadian schools, whereas from talking with people in the US, they had Apple II labs there instead.
In my late high school days, when the C64 was old technology, I didn't see these schools switch to Amigas (there may have been one or two for the art room)....they switched to DOS and Windows 3.11 PCs, but they were all Commodore manufactured PCs (like the Colt, etc.).
Does anyone have more of the Canadian story? It might have made sense for the UK division to have continued with the Canadian division as its North American distributor.
It would have been a nice full-circle story, too, as Commodore began in Canada with its founding in 1958 in Toronto.

I have a pamphlet somewhere on C= Canada, I will try to find it. Even my step-father's business had a C= PC - similar tower to A4000T.
As far as I recall C= Canada was profitable right up until the end, and was one of the last C= subsidiaries to actually close, if not the very last. They had a warehouse and small sales office near Toronto with a small tech support department.
