Canadian Tire expects and, frankly, assumes that the federal government will create a level playing field by extending the same treatment to Canadian retailers. Doing so will support Canadian retail workers while further reducing prices for Canadian consumers, a win-win solution that Canadian Tire fully supports.\nABOUT CANADIAN TIRE CORPORATION Canadian Tire Corporation, Limited, (TSX: CTC.A) (TSX: CTC) or \"CTC\", is a family of businesses that includes a Retail segment, a Financial Services division and CT REIT.
