Here in Spokane, WA, we're less than 100 miles from Canada, but in forty years I've never seen any Gray tools or boxes.

Yesterday, at a recycling center junk store, in a box of misc wrenches, a Gray Canada E1820 - 9/16" x 5/8" OE floated to the surface.

Just yer basic OE wrench; certainly nothing special in quality or design, but just different stamping.

packardV8,

I found my first gray tool  in 2013... a 5/8" x 3/4" flare wrench, and quite handsome.

I'm a little farther from Canada than you are.

The only time ive came across gray tools is when I was in Louisiana. Some guy who worked in the Canadian oilfields moved to Louisiana to work on the gulf of mexio oil rigs. He had a decent amount of gray tools, at a garage sale.

Only one I bought was a Gray Canada T57 ratchet.
And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
