Which is weird. You'd think the west coast would get stuff first and then it would trickle east. I know why that's not the case, but it still seems weird.

As for sounthern Ontario? I've never been in a situation where shelves were bare all over. There's always at least one store that was well stocked. Stocking's never been the issue here. It's distribution. Canada seems to be behind the US when it comes to that, only getting stuff first if Canadian retailers say "screw it" and ignore instructions to delay a line like they did with Transformers Animated (again, the stores themselves taking the initiative, not the chains) or in if the US distribution system is held up by, say, a dock workers' strike
Barring stuff like that though? We're usually a month behind wave releases, at best.
