I would never take my car into Canadian Tire in Kingston (any of them) for any reason. My car could be on fire, and the only ones with an extinguisher would be Canadian Tire, and I will still not go there. I have been hosed by them twice personally (I know, once should have been enough).

I, on the other hand have really never had any major issues with Can Tire in any locations whther it be Kingston, Trenton, Victoria, Comox,Gatineau, Moose Jaw.... A few minor ones and they were looked after quickly or within a reasonable time frame.
Just sayin'.............

I once had a Buick Celebrity and had a bulging tire. So I took it to a Canadian Tire and left it with them, went for a coffee and came back and I could not believe my own eyes, the guy working on it was banging on a screw driver with a hammer trying to remove the locking wheel lug. I said hold on, do you know how to remove the hub cap lock nut. He said no. Before he was able to do more damage, I took my car and went to Firestone and they did it the right way. Firestone didn't have a key but they know enough to ask if I had mine and I did with the spare tire. Now I have a brand new car and I take it to the Dealership, might cost me more but at least they know what to do. Mind you, I did give the key to the guy at Crappy Tire but he had no idea how it worked.

A great deal here in Vancouver is the Vancouver Zoo in Aldergrove. Normally it is 20 dollars, but if you are military, it is only 8 dollars!

Very true. I also work for the GoC civvy side (the Gov owns waayyy too much of my a$$), and too often, the Gov rate is at lest $5 higher than the Corporate rate. IMO, they should have a separate rate. One for Mil pers, one for the rest of the GoC.
Also, I was at a CFLC award presentation recently, and one of the guys presenting an award to his employer.. was doing so to his boss at Home Depot. He and I spoke afterwards, and he's been working for moons - from the inside, no less - trying to get HDC to offer the same discount as their US branch.

You may have seen me comment earlier in the thread that I'd been shopping at Lowes for some time before finding out that they offer a 10% discount to CF personnel and veterans. They still don't actively advertise it, but at least now if I pass my ID card to them, the cashiers no longer look at me funny and know right away to apply the 10% discount. They must've included the discount into the cashier training program. As a result, Lowes has almost all of my business, with the exception of tool rental - which Lowes doesn't offer.
