Bags for the CT22 are a PITA to get around here

Yes, that part has changed recently. For a year or two in Canada, Festool
was only available from Hafele located in Quebec which was a real pain. And
with Festool's dealer rules preventing the ordering of Festool products from
the US, doubly so. Now, that there's Festool dealers all over Canada, the
landscape has changed. Although, I consider it mercenary marketing for
Festool ensuring that everybody sell their products for the same price. It
eliminates competition and lower prices.

For anyone interested in Toronto, I bought my Festool stuff from Atlas
Machinery. When I first went down there, I couldn't get my wheelchair past
the inside of the Front door. Two weeks later, they had reorganized the
whole store. I'm sure they were planning to do so anyway, but now they've
also opened up a huge part of the rear of the store and displaying their
heavy iron in that section. They have yet to install a ramp for a two foot
height change, but they're planning to do so.

Atlas Machinery is a veritable gold mine of tools and I can get there in
under thirty minutes. Greedy buggers are going to put me into bankruptsy.
