Canadian Harmonys only differed in the first year or so of the label. US 
Harmonys
were "55 cents West Of the Rockies," while Canadian ones read "...West Of 
the
Great Lakes." The late Brian Boyd had a theory that Canadian Ha/VT were
always made from the "G" mother; I have no idea whether that was/is correct.

In later years, Canadian VT's were always identified as such.
