the k-mart of our northern neighbors. i couldn't tell you why it's got "tire" in the name. maybe they stared as a body shop that sold cheap toys out back?

CT started as a gas station, back when gas stations preformed much of the work of keeping a car running. From there they started selling car parts, which has expanded into selling tools, electronics, pots and pans, ect.

There seems to be no rhyme or reason to what they stock and why, but as a requirement for citizenship one must know what can and cannot be gotten at a CT store.

Canadian Tire used to be a good place to walk up to the Commodore 64's and make them print rude messages. Also, Consumer's Distributing was a weird place. It was a tiny store with a big warehouse behind it, you ordered stuff and it showed up on a conveyor belt.

i remember a place like that in california as a kid in the mid 80's i thought it was an old style sears, but i doubt it now.

Consumer Distributing was the shit, and I was sad to see it go. That's where I got my Super Nintendo.

Dude was right, though. Strider kicked.
