If someone else changes the fluid/filter have them save the filter for your inspection. You will need to cut the filter open to get a real look at the "trash" that was captured. If you do it would be helpful to others to snap a few more pictures. Thanks for sharing the fluid sample pictures.
Those are great suggestions, thank you for your feedback, I will look into changing the filter this time as you are correct draining and filling doesn't get everything out. Will definitely post pictures when I have the filter apart.

I was also wondering if Canadian Climate would have been a factor.

My guess would be the lines and cooler.
