I live in the US, and the only Canadian VHS tape I have as of right now is a 1989 or 1990 Burbank Video re-print of the 1988 Troy Gold release of “Old Mother Hubbard”, which contains only 4 public domain cartoons (running time is 30 minutes), 2 of which are Max Fleischer cartoons. It was distributed by HGV Video Productions, the Canadian branch of Handleman Corporation and GoodTimes Home Video Corp. The ink-label on that tape has a copyright date in 1989. It does not have a print date either. On the bottom spine, it just has the tape nominal, which is H-15 and the country the tape was manufactured in, which is Hong Kong [those printings were made of black ink]. At the end of that tape, after the fourth cartoon, there is half a minute of silence, then the regular-pitched looping beep-tone of death playing over the black screen, which lasts for only a minute or so until the tape transitions into the full static screen of death. It originally had the record tab intact when I got it in the mail, however I broke it off when I noticed it, just so I don't accidentally erase anything that was originally on the tape. The tape appeared to be duplicated at GTK Duplicating Co., the video duplication arm of GoodTimes Home Video Corp.
