	I'm not sure whether this is the case or not, but it isn't unusual
for corporations to help local dealers pay for local advertising.  It's often
more effective than national, saturation advertising (on a per-dollar basis).

Disclaimer: I'm an engineer, I'm not involved in marketing, and I know little
	    about commodore canada.
