Radio Shack Canada has announced on its website that it is
closing its nine stores in Canada on Jan 31, 2007 in order to
concentrate on its
core business in the USA. Sales begin today but warranties and
returns could be difficult. There are details on its website:

Some discount stores are selling a good selection of RS products
at 50% off.

Radio Shack Canada is a few stores owned by
the U.S. parent.
Radio Shack stores were owned by Tandy International (InterTan)
in Canada (Barrie, Ont.) and for (copyright) intellectual
property reasons, changed their name to The Source by Circuit
City, the new owners of InterTan in Canada. [Woolworths bought
InterTan in Australia and they were turned into the iconic
Dick Smith stores.]
Those 950 Source stores are all still active and don't look much
different.
