Canadian Tire to lay off 1,200 workers amid economic woes


One of Canada's largest retailers, Canadian Tire, announced on Tuesday that it will reduce its staff by 3% as part of a cost-cutting strategy amid a challenging economic environment.

Canadian Tire's president and CEO, Greg Hicks, said in a statement that the company is confident in its long-term growth prospects and remains committed to delivering value to its shareholders, customers, and employees.
