At least Harbour is an acceptable spelling...like color and colour.
This thread however....made me laugh.

Funny, it gets you there either way it's spel-led.
Harbour is more the Commonwealth version of the word. Kinda like catalogue, aluminium, shoppe, etc.

Yeah. Canada is a bit of an oddity in this regard; we spell most things in the Commonwealth (world, really; only the USA spells things differently) way, but we would never use "shoppe" unless it was a themed-type store like "Ye Olde Sweets Shoppe" or some such thing. We also say "tire", not "tyre" and other examples I'm too tired to think of right now!

Every store has it's uses. Are you saying you would not go into Princess Auto and buy the 48inch "HiLift" jack they have on-sale right now?

I bash HF more because hardly anyone on here knows what princess auto is and they sell the same **** anyways.

Pretty much, all they sell there is asian **** too. Its just over priced and in a fancy package. How ever they do sell channellocks and American made squares and levels.
They also sell ammo at high prices too.

You said it brother - exact same of Princess Auto!
Canadian Tire is sort of a mixture of things - it's like taking a hardware store (minus the lumber), adding an auto parts store, the tool section out of Sears, and add sections for sporting goods, housewares, and garden supplies, plus auto repair shop and putting it all in one. Like most retailers, a lot of their stuff is aimed very much at the consumer market.
Princess Auto is a little more like what Harbor Freight would be, perhaps with a little bit more of a farm supply angle to it (perhaps Tractor Supply would be a better analogy).

Bottom line its a proper name, which means there really is only one spelling that is correct if you are referring to that entity. Sorta like talking about someone named Bryan but typing Brian. Both are correct spellings but only one is correct for that person.
Carry on with the China/Taiwan is good enough/all i can afford vs its evil and ruining America/Canada "debate".
