Well, Canadian Tire dipped into their Christmas budget, to try Spamming Canadians about auto service.
I guess they figured they could trick Canadians into trusting their crappy DisService Centers, with a tale of Santa's sleigh getting repaired by Crappy.
The backlash was predictable, from every single time one of these big spams has been tried in the past.
Most of the resulting consumer warnings are about poor, incompetent or unnecessary repairs. Some of these can be seen here:

But here are some that aren't about auto repairs:
Jo Ann G.: would love to see more Canadian made products in your store than cheap crap from outside Canada!
Julie V.C.: I've never had a mechanic make me leave my car over night they had plenty of time to fix it the same day.....I've been warned by friends before to never take my car to Canadian Tire but I had no choice I was stranded there....the worse part was I knew I was being taken advantage and I couldn't do anything about it.....don't act like you take complaints seriously because I've made plenty and the people I dealt with brushed me off....I will NEVER take my car to Canadian tire again EVER
Brian K.: With Canadian Tire's pro hunting stance, I am surprised that they didn't kill all the reindeer. On another note, the Canadian Tire auto centre was terrible to deal with and wouldn't give me back my keys after they performed some tests that were never asked for or required unless I paid them. I'll never go back!
Fred C.D.: the oe in Portage La Prairie is also run by crooks .
Christine H.: Double standard!! Employees are not allowed to say Merry Christmas.
Corbin G.: Canadian tire tried to charge my aunt 30 dollars for a small Tupperware set when it was 7.99 we got it for 7.40
Sandi F.: Yeah like reindeer belong in a store to be exploited for profit and they sell items there to murder them so they don't give two reindeer poops about them.
Paul Y.: Can't believe Santa stopped there by choice...every canadian tire in Sudbury told there employees not to wish anyone a Merry Christmas!!!
Bonnie W.M.: Just don't say merry Christmas or u might get fired
Marc B.: BTW,i already e-mailed the CT in my city,its been over a year now and nothing has changed,service is pityful,last time i went in to get paint,an employee used her 2 way radio to get an employee to help me in the paint department,while i was still near that 1st employee,the 2nd one replied that he was there but too busy to help me,in those plain words,i guess service isnt what i can expect from our local CT store.
Marc B.: thats not the service in Aylmer,Santa wouldnt be delivering for Xmas but for Easter,left to figure out what year.
Tracy J.: Too bad the Canadian Tire at the south end of Sudbury Ontario wasn't as awesome as this one, an employee got fired for saying Merry Christmas!
Lawrence J.L.: This store has the worst quality of products I have ever seen along with horrible customer service !!! Merry Christmas
