Canadian Tire Money Found
November 16th, 2009 by Cranky Canuck

canadian-tire-money

Only in Canada (I think) where a department store is allowed to print their own money. Mind you, the way the global economy has been going, I’m thinking their money is a lot more stable then say, the American or the Canadian Dollar. The only difference is that you can only spend Canadian Tire money at a Canadian Tire store. You can also buy some pretty neat stuff too.

Actually that’s not true. I used to go to this pub in Calgary called the Drum and Monkey and on Sundays they would accept Canadian Tire money as legal tender to pay for your pint. I don’t know if they still do it.

Any ways, I found a brief case full of Canadian Tire money. One Dollar bills very neatly bundled up with those fat purple elastic bands generally used for broccoli. Also, blueprints for some kind of under ground bunker. The only other thing in the briefcase was a mini Etch-E-Sketch™ on a key chain. No judgments people!

So if you can correctly answer at least 2 of the questions below; you must be the rightful owner and I will gladly return the case & contents to you.

1.What is the name of the country where the broccoli was grown? (they are all the same elastics)
2.Can you describe the case? (color, texture, handle(s) etc)
3.Address of the proposed bunker?
4.Bonus points if you care to tell me what the heck you are up to with this much Canadian Tire money, who do you know in the broccoli biz, and just generally WTF?!?

I hate Canadian Tire so I have no use for this money, I’m just not sure what else to do, so please come get your funny money.

PS.  If this is some kind of weird Canadian tire mafia thing, I don’t want any trouble eh?

OK, here goes!
1) The broccoli was grown in the USA
2)The case is brown leather with a leather hide texture. The handle is brown too.
3)The bunker address is in Ottawa. ( Was intended for the Prime Minister)
4)The Canadian Tire money was being saved to buy toboggans for kids and my grand-kids. Broccoli is the wave of the future so get on board NOW. Buy into broccoli stock!
I would love to have my lost CT Money restored so I can get on with my toboggan plans! It’s getting cold!

So… Am I even close?

1. Broccoli was from California
2. The case is a metal one and its silver
3. 35 Victoria Avenue, Regina Saskatchewan
4. I was saving the money to buy a solar panel system that I would attach to my bunker and live off the grid.

Seriously though, I want my etch a sketch back.

Hi Carol! Sorry for not getting back to you sooner but relocating the Canuckastan Embassy to Yellowknife takes lots of work.

What also makes it hard is trying to keep the polar bears from chewing up my Internet connection cables. Bastards.

You almost got the money till you answered Question 3. Steve “Harpoon” Harper does not need the money. I play poker with him and I know for a fact he doesn’t. He is also the reason I am banished here.

Well, close won’t by those toboggans. Take it up with Steven next time you see him.. Must be wild being banished up into the lovely Yellowknife! I can’t stand that it gets dark so early here let alone all day! What ever did you do so wrong? I hear if you spray the polar bears with water, (much like cats that won’t leave furniture alone), that they will stay away from your internet cables. Worth a try;-> Let me know how it goes.
