What is Google doing with its leftover Nexus phones?

Since the Pixel was debuted, the Nexus 5x and 6 disappeared from the Google Play store without any clearance sale.

When I heard a new model was coming, I figured then would be a good time to pick up another Nexus because its price would probably be lowered as part of a clearance move usually implemented by brands during new releases. I also expected this because of the Xmas holiday period timing.

Google Play support said they had no authorized resellers in Canada to recommend. I want an unlocked one, so getting one from phone companies like Bell or Rogers won't work because they're tied to a contract (or highly overpriced if offered without).

I have NO interest in buying a Pixel.
