Part of it is just that the population of ON is about 3X greater than that of either AB or BC. We have more machines offered but also have more buyers ready to pounce on a deal!

You also had more machine tool manufacturers and manufacturing in general than out this way. I am so jealous of all the standard modern machines out your way. I would sell my south bends in a heartbeat if I could replace them with some Canadian iron.

ON is also part of the old rust belt - machining heart of Canada. Thus a lot of smoking deals in old machines.

That's a better way to say it.

I was going to say something more along the lines of Toronto area alone has more people in it than the rest of Canada combined! JK, but also not far from the truth.

Also, Windsor was once known as the Tool and Die capital of the world - not just Canada. As I mentioned before - lots of self made millionaires came out of that. It lasted until the far east decided to put extreme efforts forward to claim that title. Kitchener Waterloo area was not far behind.
