Well, the parts that I can no longer get from Canadian sources are still available in the States.

I guess 10x the market size makes it still worthwhile stocking them. (Actually it's probably more like 20x the market when you consider the number of old Metros that have rusted away up here vs. the number left in U.S. fleet as a whole.)
