One of the prongs on the built in needle threader for my Janome Harmony 2049 sewing machine has broken off. I need to get a new part. Where can I buy parts in Canada?
You won't even look at my problem unless I pay you money but you want me to tell you, for free, how I fixed the problem? Doesn't seem fair to me. I will post my solution on a free forum. Sorry to all you folks looking for the solution.

Is the threader broken or just not meeting the needle eye? If broken, it can most likely be repaired.
If the threader is not meeting the needle eye, adjust the needle height so the threader meets the eye and intercept the thread. I have a 60's machine with a threader that needs the needle height manually adjusted because the needle does not stop in any particular place. Usually, if I raise the needle to its highest, the threader will work.
You are threading the top of the machine incorrectly.
Make sure the needle is in correctly with the flat side to the rear of
the machine, make sure to thread the upper and lower portions of the
machine correctly. If this does not solve your problem, please respond.
Darning would normally be done with the triple stretch stich, the one that is a zig-zag broken up into three stitches right and then three stitches left. See-through Zig-Zag foot. Zig-Zag set at it's widest. Feed set to about 1/16-1/8 inch (1.5-3mm) and darn by sewing forward a bit, adjust fabric, and then backward by pressing and holding the reverse button. Continue back and forth until you've created a darned box. For extra strength, turn fabric 90 degrees and repeat over same area.
