      >The office concluded Canadian Tire had attempted to convince consumers that sale items were on deep discount by including an artificially inflated regular price on its advertising material.

      This is something that so many businesses do and definitely needs to be cracked down on.

      Many of my Amazon orders have been placed in the aisles of Canadian Tire. I cross reference the prices of most things I buy there. 

      You have to be gaming the triangle points and their credit card to get decent deals. 

      I’ve also rage quit from their store multiple times after the cheap item I want is behind a locked cabinet and there are no staff to be found.

      My dad is normally a smart man, but Canadian Tire sales have always been a weakness of his.

      „Hey Filobel! Do you need a drill?“

      „No, I already have one, why?“

      „It was on sales at Canadian Tire, so I bought it, but I already have two, so if you want it, it’s yours!“

      🤦

      I tried to tell him these sales are bogus, but flipping through the latest Canadian Tire catalogue is one of his favourite activities, so…

      We’ve always joked at other places “That is some Cdn Tire pricing, that’s not even a sale price…”

      these fines need to be way more substantial. these ’small‘ fines are just a cost of business to these fucking corporations

      Does anyone think that Canadian Tire only did this in Quebec? I wonder why other provinces don’t protect us from phony merchandising schemes.

      1.3 Million fine versus…how much profit was made during this time? That fine is a joke, cost of business.

      They have been doing this for decades. 70% off on ratchet sets or frying pans etc.

      Wait until they find out how badly their mechanics screw people over. Makes this look like nothing lol

      That fine is a fucking joke for a company this size.

      Its good they lost but this won’t stop them they will just factor in this loss while continuing to do the same practice.

      Flair airlines does this too, after putting in a 50% off code for Black Friday, their $100 flight turned into $198->$99…

      Their advertising budget is way more than that. Wonder how much money they made due to the fake advertising

      1.3 million, thats it? lol I’m sure Canadian Tire learned its lesson and won’t do that again 😂 right? 🙄

      Status quo for Canadian tire, I’d argue most of their items are on ‘sale’ longer than they’re not

      Does anyone actually think the regular price for those Heritage iRock pots and pans is $799? And that they discount them down to $179 six months out of the year?

      Fuuuck no.

      While I’m sure 1.3 million seems like a lot of money, for them I bet that isn’t even a days total revenue. If you make more money committing a crime instead of following the law, then that is the price of business to them. The way you hurt them is by saying all locations suspend sales until an investigation is complete.
