Only recently found this forum although it has been around for a while. Not much has changed over time with Canadian Tire. Lost interest after they changed format to attract a new clientele with departments such as "living" and "playing". Definitely more like a department store than its origins as a hardware and automotive store. Bubblepacks and reduced selection made way for home fashions and consumer products that are mostly from China. Nice to be in a place where we can share our horror stories.
