Journalists Invade Wine Country to Choose Canada's Best Wheels By Jim Bray  TechnoFile.com (Photos by Barry Carson) You might call the Canadian Car of the Year TestFest another "runway" success.  That's because for the past four years, the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada's annual event, which is designed to help consumers get the most from their automotive dollars, has been based at the Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, airport.   Ah, but the airport is only part of the story. While its large, flat area is not only ideal for setting up a temporary road course that lets the assembled multitude of car writers test a vehicle's mettle, it's also an ideal staging area from which the vehicles can be driven over a series of real life roads under the real world conditions in which most people will actually use them ? including, unfortunately, traffic and construction.   So it comes to pass that a gaggle of about 70 Canadian auto
