I fully expect the Blue Tab to be no more in Canada, just based
on observation.  Last year they were everywhere in quantity,
at Zellers, Wal-Mart, and TRU.  But they were at full price.
Then Zellers and Wal-Mart both cleared them out later last
year, with Wal-Mart pushing them down to Cdn$12 even! (US$8).
I have not seen a blue tub at either of these stores since.
TRU didn't put theirs on sale until Feb I think it was, but
when they did they disappeared completely, too.

Except for old warehouse stock showing up, I don't expect
to see the Blue Tubs again in Canada.
