I once heard a comedian joke that the Hottest Canadian Guy is the one with a gazillion Club Zed points and a big wad of Canadian Tire money ...... well, if that guy were in West Edmonton this Christmas Season, he would be able to turn his Canadian Tire money into a little bit of Holiday Cheer from the local Liqour Store !!
Turns out in an attempt to draw in customers, a Liquor store in Edmonton is accepting Canadian Tire Money at par for purchases. The only caveat is - a maximum of $50 per purchase, and no 5 and 10 cent bills (they plug up the register too quickly).
The incentive has proven popular and people are using handfuls of Canadian Tire money (usually what they've found in their glove compartment of their car or truck ...) in exchange for their alcohol. And here I save up my Canadian Tire money for foolish things like bikes, cleaning supplies and sporting equipment - mea culpa !!
This truly is one of those - "only in Canada" moments ... Pass the Red Rose and let's pull up to a plate of Back Bacon, and we'll wash it all down with a bottle of Blue, while we watch Hockey on CBC ... Eh !!??
