Was in the new Canadian Tire at Manning Crossing. Nice big well organised store. It has quite a bit of hunting stuff, some rifles and a large selection of ammo. Problem is the ammo is behind the counter, you can't read the boxes from the other side and they have no one there that knows anything about guns or ammo.

While I am very happy to see CT stepping into this space they are going to need to hire some people, or train some of their existing staff in how to sell these products. They don't need experts but they at least need to know what 30-06 and 270 ammo is. They also need a buyer that knows a little more about what to buy. Most of the stock was the cheapest, poorest built crap available on the market. Very little of what an average user would be looking to buy, let alone any high end stuff. I worry that lack of sales from having the wrong stock and no expertise will lead to many CTs abandoning this market prematurely.
