The CT Liar (we only know for sure there’s one) was actually not very productive this past weekend.
Mostly he/she only offered the usual, desperate attempts to convince Canadian Consumers that:
- proof isn’t really proof
- experts aren’t really experts
- advocates aren’t really advocates
- credible sources are not credible
- the CT Liar’s opinion is the only one that’s correct
- it’s OK for stores to sell junk, and not follow the law.
- their policies aren’t the worst of any major retailer.
The main focus was a re-telling of
Lie #9: A customer is not entitled to a refund for a “Repair Only” or “Exchange Only” product.
( Guess this needs updating to include the many "No Warranty" products, too.)
The list of references that CT doesn’t want Consumers to believe are here:

The only real surprise was when the CT Liar decided out of the blue to break his/her own rule & start offering personal mis-interpretations on the CPA.
This nonsense was thoroughly debunked (for the second time).
Just to make things easier, we'll now track this as:
Lie #18 – The CPA does not apply to ordinary retail transactions.
The proof can be found here:

There was a lot of stuff posted about other stores. We haven’t really heard back on how many lies are contained in those posts (not that they really matter).
However, a quick check on the Future Shop site, and found a typical CT lie right away:
“Future Shop & Best Buy return policy states No returns on DVD's, movies, CD's etc”
If you check for yourself, you’ll see that an exchange is allowed, which is a type of return.
There was also the claim that “in lots of cases” CTC’s policies “are better” than other store’s policies.
For Costco, Walmart and Home Depot, all return policies surveyed so far have been better than at CTC.
Perhaps the CT Liar would care to provide some verifiable evidence that this is true? Otherwise, this will be held for consideration as an Offical CT Lie.
And why don't they provide evidence? Just more laziness? Are they getting bored of fabriating phoney "proof"? Because there isn't any?
We'll just have to wait and see what lies the concoct this week.
