Peter J,
I saw some aerial pictures of the Gander airport, while all of the aircraft were there, on the net. If you can find them they really show the size of the task facing the Canadians. Maybe some one lurking can post the url?
After looking at some Gander pictures, it's possible the one I saw was of the Halifax airport. Aircraft were lined up two wide (staggered) on one of the runways.
Edited again, it was Halifax. the picture I was remembering is

Lubicon's link is great.
Thanks again to the neighbors to the north.
