I have a 16" AZ I bought new in Canada around 1976-ish that says "Made in Canada" on it.
I toured the Meductic plant around then and I am convinced that at that time, mid-70's, there was absolutely no difference between the Canadian and USA AZ's.
Working with family can be a PIA, and my guess is that Robert Zildjian wanted some freedom, they could avoid the huge customs tariffs in place at the time (GM was doing the same shipping almost completed cars to Oshawa) and probably most importantly the fishing is great in that part of New Brunswick.

[COLOR="DarkRed"]Canadian A's (or as I call 'em, Canadian Eh's Laughing H)
....are no different from US-made A's of the same period. Not the best vintage for Avedis, not the worst either, they are basically more of a conversation piece than any sort of rare collectible. Definitely respectable old A's, though....[/COLOR]
