Re: Canadian Tire
Hmmm strange, the "parles anglaise" here on the West Coast, the stores are clean, but must admit aisles maybe narrow (but conform to WCB ie min. 36" wide) so unless you weigh 300lb!!!! they are wide enough.
As for pricing, they are comparable to most other box stores. But do agree, don't take your car there for servicing there.

Re: Canadian Tire
We bought our microwave from Canadian Tire and we took it back after it stopped working six months later. They exchanged it without any problems. We've bought other stuff which has been fine. I just tend to not be very interested in it as a choice compared to other stores but for no particular reason.

We have numerous friends who have taken their cars their to be repaired, and their advice is......never ever take your car there if you want it repaired properly!

Now we have a home depot, we never go near CT!
Walmart is worse though.. always dirty.
I wouldn't buy in there if I was desperate. cheap American tat!

DH can't wait to get back and do some shopping in his favourite shop.
Is it a guy thing, or am I just not getting it.
