No.
The coverage was introduced by David Icke so quite some time ago!
Appropriate that 'The Son of God' was introducing snooker coverage on Good Friday. That proves how important snooker is!!

My guess is the State Express World Team Classic, sometime in the 80s.

Right tournament, wrong sponsors;
it was the Fersina Windows World Cup, 1989

Who was the last Canadian to qualify for the WC, and in what year?

Alain Robidoux qualified in 1996, and that was the final time he qualified. Although he was seeded the next 3 years.
I cannot think of any others after that.
