Incorrect. Factory rust proofing is just fine, even for Ontariario.

The "brine" spray you refer to is actually a methanol/ water spray (windshield washer fluid) that is sprayed onto the road before the snow starts so as to make plowing easier. Where are you getting your information?

Most important upgrade for Canada is a more powerful battery. The standard one is truly hopeless. Even Subaru fits a better battery to some models.
