Is Canadian Tire Canadian?
Verdict
Canadian owned, made elsewhere
Canadian-owned retailer, but the majority of goods on the shelves are imported. Buying at Canadian Tire supports Canadian jobs and a Canadian company; it does not mean the product is Canadian-made.
What this verdict means
The company is Canadian-owned and headquartered here, but the goods themselves are made abroad. Head office jobs, retail jobs and corporate taxes stay in Canada; manufacturing does not.
