I read with surprise your comments surrounding property rights in Canada.

For your information, in canada property Rights are protected under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which is similar in many ways to the United States Constitution.

I can't analyse what occured in your case, but it appears you were effectively operating a business under a Canadian Subsidary. If you had no Legal agreement with them, or your purpose was to hide or subvert paying taxes in either Canada or the United States, then it may very well be difficult for you to establish and protect the ownership and title of your equipment.

I think you need to consult a Canadian lawyer, to file a claim to recover your property. If you are unprepared to do that, then I can't help but suspect your motives, and that your dealings may not be entirely legal or above board.

A founding principle of law is that to have the court assist you, that you must make your claim with "clean hands", that is to clarify, that the courts in either the United states or Canada will not assist in the recovery of property or damages, where a claimant has acted illegally.

Additionally, there is no such thing as the "Canadian Bankruptcy Court", a trustee can legally be appointed in the case of a bankruptcy, or if petitioned by creditors who are owed money and remain unsatisfied, but there is an established legal procedure that trustees follow. While they are paid from the proceeds of any sales of assets, those fees are regulated, and the extra amounts are paid to outstanding creditors...very similar to the process in the USA.

My advice...talk to a lawyer, before posting information that is incorrect and will mislead others.

There is obviously something rather unique going on here as the laws for bankruptcies do not allow for a creditor to seize a third-party's assets without a lawful reason. To take your case to an absurd level this would be akin to allowing a creditor to seize an office building because a cleaning company went bankrupt. In addition, the laws dont even allow for the seizure of assets that are secured as part of a loan agreement. For example if your machines where purchased with a loan from (for example only) GE Capital, then GE Capital would be the only ones that could seize the equipment. If you are being told otherwise then you need to speak to a lawyer immediately to seek redress. There are several very reputable law firms in London and they would be more than glad to assist you.
