The short squeeze IMO tends to be more of a myth

KTEL was a short squeeze, when many shorted at $20's, the stock ran to $80.

"What makes this all the more curious is that K-TEL has only 3.8 million shares outstanding, a razor-thin float. More than 70% of those are held by Chief Executive Philip Kives and other insiders. All of which gives credence to widespread suspicion that K-TEL is being caught up in a colossal short squeeze. K-TEL's executives refused comment. So did spokespeople at NASDAQ and the Securities & Exchange Commission."

In my opinion most shorts never cover. They just keep shuffling paper back and fourth from one account to another, especially in Canada.
