I always found the Bell Centre very boxy and ugly.

A part of me wants to see Nicholas Cage as the Canadian Tire Guy.

That wrench doesn't fit into your motor? Ya don't say.

Canadian Tire: Love the great outdoors.

Canadian Tire: Service with a smile.

Let's be honest: Nic Cage could be the spokesman for any company and it would be awesome.

I don't find the Bell Centre offensive at all. It's slightly bland but so are most of the newer arenas. Otherwise it seems to have clean lines and decent materials.

Fair enough.

Nic Cage is the greatest actor of all time. Gary Busey is in distant second.

I love Nicolas Cage. My brother in law bought me a plaster cast of his face one year for Christmas. I have Nic Cage's face on my wall.

Roger's Place. Roger's Arena, Roger's Centre, Roger's Crescent, Roger's Close, Roger's Outhouse and Roger's Nuclear Waste Facility.

I always found it ridiculous that Rogers sponsors two arenas. I just call the Rogers Center the Skydome.

In English, it should have one. It's grammatically incorrect for it to not have one, but it has one because French. Tim Hortons is the same way, started by Tim Horton, owned by Tim Horton, it was Tim Horton's company, but it's trademarked as Tim Hortons as if Hortons was his last name, because you can't say "Tim Horton's" in French.

suburbanite · #**2215** Posted **Mar 9, 2019, 3:31 AM**

Tim hortons was started by Tim Horton. Rogers was started by Ted Rogers.

Rogers's?

Actually it would be Rogers'.

Rogers' doesn't actually have service in my part of the country (they contract it out to a local carrier) so my only exposure to the brand is though their video rental store and sugar empire.
