And yet I don't see them on the Project Gutenberg Canada site either. Would a moderator please clarify whether it would be legal to post them here?
I looked for them but couldn't find any free versions available. (Several are available to purchase as ebooks.)

The American copyright holder has taken great care to renew all the USA copyrights. However, there's nothing to stop a Canadian site from hosting them, as far as I can see.
