On the other occasions it had stuck, it had released, it only after driving HARD, flor up to a block. That's excessive.

It has only occurred on the front wheels. It has happened even when I don't use the parking brake, but that is a moot point, as of course the parking brake involves the rear brakes only.
Dragging the tire and flat spotting it is more serious than I originally thought.

I would think its weather related now since you are in Canada. Do you park the vehicle outside overnight?
