One man's fight against CT Spam:
Greg Brown Heeeey Canadian Tire Moderator...is there any paticular Reason that you keep removing my Posts ?? Is it because I say I don't like your Privacy Violating, unsolicited , and unwanted Way of Advertising ??...Is this freedom of Speech ??...I haven't Violated any Privacy rules (I checked )....and don't forget ...you guy's came to ''MY '' Wall un -invited, and you have the Gall to remove my posts ...how about you removeing your Ad from '' MY '' Space ...look forward to your response ....thankyou...
Canadian Tire Hi Greg Brown, sorry to hear you feel our posts are intrusive. If you’d like to stop them from appearing, you can use the 'hide' feature available on the top right corner of one of our posts in your newsfeed. From there you have the additional option to 'hide all stories from Canadian Tire' or 'unlike Canadian Tire page.
Greg Brown Geeeez...Not only has Canadian Tire Violated my Right to Privacy by Posting their unsolicited, and unwanted Advertising on my Facebook Page ( I didn't...'' Like ''...your Page )....Now...every time they respond to a comment, it comes up on my Notification Alert....It's just not right forceing me to endure this Harrassment ..Booooo to you ...!
Robert Fuoco Grow up Greg
Greg Brown Chris ...Sorry Buddy...But It's Canadian Tire that ''Chose '' to Post their stuff on my wall...sooooo I can comment as I please ..as long as I don't Violate the Posting GuideLines...ummm...like you did ... you know ??...The ''F '' word...was their Choice ..not mine ...
Greg Brown Hi Canadian Tire ...Thankyou for Your Response , but your remedy is Unacceptable...I have not, ''Liked '' your page ..Your unwanted Advertising has mysteriously appeared on My Private Facebook page...No other Company has graced my page with this !!...Your Company chose to come into my Space, and now I have to ''Endure'' these Unwanted, and Un-Invited Comments and Notification Alerts, so now you can put up with my Comments ...Works both ways ...Don't It ??...Unless of Course ''YOU '' Choose to remove your Ads from my Page ! ...You Choose !...Thankyou for taking the Time to respond ...Merry Christmas ...
Richard Baldwin Please report unsolicited spam as abuse to facebook
Richard Baldwin I also did not "like" this page and yet... there it is.
Greg Brown Richard..Maybe Canadian Tire should re-think who they Pay to do their Advertising, if people are getting turned off..Most people don't like things forced on them

....
Tracy Vinet im sure they paid facebook for the advertising, its facebooks new way of creating revenue
Greg Brown Pat ..It's hard to stop the Unsolicited , unwanted Privacy Violating Advertisments...but it's easy to stop giving them our Business...Just by word of mouth alone ,in the last 24hrs I know of 9 Individuals that have said they will discontinue shopping at CT, Because of this unsavory practice ...want to make it 10 ??...If 10 people that stop shopping would have spent a $100.00 that works out to $ 1000.00...it's a start ...
Katie Justason-macdonald Wow, I can see there are a couple of you who need to get the Christmas spirit. And if you don't like the "spam", get off of fb then. This was a great commerical.
Greg Brown Sorry Katie ...But Canadian Tire put their Ads on my wall (only one other Company has done this )...They came to my site uninvited ...Sooooo....I guess people are just going to have to put up with my Comments ..after all If they wouldn't have came to me ..You wouldn't be reading this ...would you ??
Jim Barclay I'm not happy with any company trying to jam their product(s) down my throat on Facebook. I get enough of that on TV. I am also a mechanic and I never recommend Canadian Tire to anyone to have their vehicle serviced.
Katie Justason-macdonald Apparently little things like this get you upset Greg...how sad and pathetic
Greg Brown No Katie..sorry but your wrong ...this is not a little thing ...CT,has made the Choice to Violate my right to choose who I want on my ''Private '' Facebook Page...and since they are on it...then I have a Right to post Comments as I see fit....(as long as I don't Violate Posting guidelines )...they came to me..I didn't come to them ...Their Choice ...not mine ...
Liza Dawber again, get off my page!
Cathy Cee At Greg...why did you "like" the page then?....that's what happens when you "like" a page from a company.
Greg Brown Cathy Lee...I 100 % Agree with you ...But I ''Did Not Like '' their page, and did not '' like '' it from any of my of my friends ...This Advertising just appeared on my Private Wall...Unsolicited, unwanted Advertising....Forced Advertising ...No other Company has done it !!...
