Yes. A decade ago they boasted in earning reports that more than 60% of product sold was their own branded product, all sourced from China.
Junk junk junk.
I grew up loving the place. I never shop there now.
They even orchestrated a joint buy out of Panerno, a 60+ year old quality cookware manufacturer in Canada, which used Canadian steel for all its stainless. Canadian Tire kept the name, and now peddkes crappy poor quality cookware under the name.
Their co-purchaser, a Chinese firm, wanted a way to inject low quality Chinese steel into the North American market as "Made in Not-China".
Lie about brand history to make a quick buck, that's modern Canadian Tire.
If you track sea containers (ok you probably don’t) a ton of them coming into Canada are Canadian tire
I doubt there is anything in a Canadian tire that’s made in Canada anymore with the exception of toilet paper and motor oils that wouldn’t make sense to ship
