In Canada Radio Shack had a complicated history. I remember it at least from the 1970s. It was owned by Tandy, who eventually spun off its Canadian arm in the mid 1980s. Then it was sold to Circuit City who finally sold the whole chain to Bell Canada in 2009. Now it is called The Source.
Mainly Cell phones, Stereos, TVs, computers, clock radios, and even some parts! Over the past few years I have bought a laptop, a roll of solder, a new soldering iron, connectors, a pack of assorted resistors, and some spools of wire there.
So it's not really dead now, just different.
"Only in Canada, eh? Pity."
