"Now that's new! ... Only at Canadian Tire?

Yes we all have heard that line many times.

Canadian Tire has earned it's nicknames like Crappy Tire and Crafty Liar.  Canadian Tire Automotive or Crappy Tire allegedly pays commission to mechanics on parts.  The more parts Crappy Tire mechanics can install on your car the greater their pay.  Sounds like a WIN - LOSE situation to me.  Crappy Tire wins and you lose!  So Canadian Tire has come by the name Crappy tire earnestly.

Canadian Tire or Crafty Liar is also known to be un-ethical and break the Canadian Competition Laws.  As a business owner and inventor I've experienced it as have thousands of others.  Canadian Tire came by the name Crafty Liar earnestly.  I remember these crafty liars charging an assembly fee automatically even though the item had not been assembled.  Be certain to look at your receipt for these hidden deceitful charges.  As there are many Canadian Tire Officers and Directors listed below I guess it should be Crafty Liars.

Canadian Tire Insurance to me is a scary thought.  Do you trust people that break the law?  Do you trust people known to steal?  Do you trust people who lie?  Do you have an endless supply of money to fight years of court battles for a settlement that is rightfully yours?  Do you have years of your life to waste in frustration before getting your settlement if any?

If you answered yes to these questions then I'd still recommend getting your mortgage or insurance elsewhere.

Who are Crafty Liars stealing products and product ideas from?  In one month only I personally met 4 business owners/ inventors who all share the same story and like myself now employ no one.  Employing no one isn't good for the economy.  It's Crafty Liars that caused our recession.  I'd love to hear from even more inventive product developers.  I bet Canadian Tire didn't pay them a dime either.

First of all here are Canadian Tire people who need our prayers.

They are the recommend stores reduce employee hours to escape having to pay benefits and to reduce the number of overall employees in general to maximize profits.  These actions reduced the number of employed families who can scrape by on such poor wages.  Oh and these same reduced employees represent reduced economy which led us to our current economic crisis.

January 23/2008

I posted a letter sent to me from Canadian Tire Corp. stating there is no need for a product that thaws frozen pipes.  At the time I received this letter Liqui-Fire Liquid Pipe Thaw was being repeatedly sold out in participating Canadian Tire Stores.  Here's the link to the letter.

Canadian Tire Bull Shit and un-ethical practices.

Search Canadian Tire Corp online store.  You will be asked for your postal code and then taken to this page.   http://www.canadiantire.ca/home.jsp

Liquid Pipe Thaw       Product #63-9929-8

Clears frozen pipes safely with no residue

The following year Canadian Tire Stores were flooded with syndicate corporation members knock-off.  It appeared in every Canadian Tire Store in Canada even though they stated there is no need for such a product.  Who's pockets were lined by inside trade deals?

And that's Canadian Tire Stores LTD. looking out for their investors best interest.  Wouldn't you hope they would support Canadian talent and not global corporations.  The intentional deception and lack of support from industry and government alike to assist Canadian intelligence that are the root causes for erosion of the quality of life as well as the unhappy state of most Canadians and Canadian intellect.

It seems most of you chose to order direct from Woodsmans International and I thank you.

This sends a clear message to your head office that they are to do their best for you.  It also sends a clear message to Recochem that the marketplace won't tolerate this.  If you are curious as to how much of an issue this is to online consumers try the following.

Many online shoppers search online for the store of choice followed by a comma then the name or category of interest.  E.G. "Canadian Tire Stores" , hardware.  Try searching Yahoo Canada for that.  Now try it with your store banner in quotation marks.  (quotation marks eliminates results that don't have the exact name) then the comma which gives the user the next field of interest to be searched.

Now you can see that it's becoming a bigger issue than even Recochem thought it would be.  And it comes up when you search "Tru-Value, hardware" as well as many many others.  I guess the Canadian Tire investors aren't too happy about it either.  Most Canadians believe corporations offer deals and royalties but I guess Recochem is only interested in it's bottom line and not those store owners that carry it's products.  Products like windshield washer fluid, brake fluid, camp fuels, STP Oil and Gas Additives, ArmorAll Car Care Products and many other products made by Recochem.

So there you have it.  Recochem doesn't care about your store nor business ethics.  Your head office?  Well I'll leave that decision up to you.
