 Judicial Assistance in Canada
Canada''s accession to the Hague Convention on the Service Abroad of Judicial and Extra-Judicial Documents in Civil and Commercial Matters (20 UST 361; TIAS 6638) provides a simple but indirect method for effecting service in civil and commercial matters when more direct means prove inappropriate or unfeasible.
Canada is not a party to any multilateral treaty on obtaining evidence, such as the 1970 Hague Convention on the Taking of Evidence Abroad in Civil or Commercial Matters.
Although there are no rules in Canada which prohibit foreign tribunals or litigants from taking evidence from a willing person, the conduct of a hearing presided over by a foreign official or pursuant to a federal or state investigation remains subject to the consent of the Government of Canada.

 Canadian Valiants
Canada, then as now, is a smaller market, which at the time had two vaguely equal MoPar dealer chains; Chrysler-Plymouth-Fargo Truck and DeSoto-Dodge-Dodge Truck.
Canada's DeSoto-Dodge dealers were granted Chrysler franchises as compensation, much as DeSoto-Plymouth dealers were in the U. This move, while initially appearing to have no direct effect on Valiant, probably cemented its early Canadian identity as a compact Chrysler (as opposed to a compact Plymouth), though the "by Chrysler" words were dropped after 1962.
Engines in Canada were much the same as in the U.S. - the 170 was the standard 6 with the 273 the standard V8.
