Best Canadian Ad

[Toro]

I have to tell ya, this is the best TV ad I've seen in a long, long time. It brings a tear to my eye and makes me want to get on the first plane back home!

during the Vancouver 2010 Olympics, there was a commercial about a hot chick who was being helped by a guy in regards to her cellphone. he saved his phone number on her cellphone. the commercial was ok, but the chick was hot.

 

[Mowich]

Saw that commercial many times during the games and each time I got a kick out of it. 'gotta a hammer??' LOL! Rona does more than one thing well.

Fake and gay.

Cool add but I am not going 30 miles out of my way just to go to a lumberyard. Windsor Plywood is much closer and usually cheaper.

And RoNa said "HELL NO"

Is that because you'd rather support American retailers?

Home Depot has pretty well seen the last of my business. They are NOT concerned about the service to the customer, just profits ANY way they can get it. Service might not be quite as good at Rona, but I'll struggle along there before I'll go back to H.D. Probably a better alternative than either of them is Home Building Supplies.

We only have a Home Hardware/Building Center (father-in-law works there so I borrow his discount lol) and a Irlybird near here. I avoided Rona and Home when we were in Kelowna. Don't like big chain stores much. They're rich enough.

I agree, but there are exceptions..............Fisher's Home Hardware in Vernon, small store right downtown, it's a family business under the Home "umbrella", I think, excellent service, good price and the store has virtually everything, what you don't see in the store, someone will bring it up out of the basement! One of the employees/owners is an old codger who appears to be well into his 80s.
