Through the first quarter of 2014, Genesis sedan sales were actually on the rise, but April's results ranked it 15th on this list of the 20 worst-selling vehicles in Canada when measured by year-over-year percentage decline.

Ranking vehicles by volume, both the Genesis and XC90 escape eligibility for the top 20 with their 53 and 19 sales, respectively. Nissan sold just the one Cube last month, it's no longer featured on the company's website. (Nissan Canada replied to GCBC's inquiries, and the Cube has in fact been discontinued in Canada.) Six different vehicles - X6, MKT, Tribeca, 7-Series, GT-R, Viper - found 15 Canadian buyers in April, 15 times more than the Cube managed, but not enough to escape worst seller status.
You can always select a make and model at GCBC's Sales Stats page to find historical monthly and yearly sales figures from both Canada and the United States. Pertinent links are clickable at the bottom of this post, but you can also find related links at the Best Sellers page.
