Oh Canada

Since I'm staying at my parents place for my recuperation, I've been watching A LOT of Canadian TV. Mostly CBUT and KVOS (okay, so KVOZ is actually in Bellingham... but c'mon, it's TOTALLY a Canadian TV Station).

The commercials are bringing back all sorts of great memories except for *one*. And I need the help of my Canuckian friends to restore that memory!

When I was young, I saw commercials for tons of Canada-Only stores. So far this week I have seen commercials for almost all of them:
  • Canadian Tire
  • London Drug
  • Future Shop

Other Canadian businesses that this has made me remember are Cloverdale Paint and The Brick.

But there's at least one chain of Drug Stores that escapes me! WHAT IS IT?!?!? It was a Drug Store/Department Store, and I can't for the life of me remember what it was. Any help?

Oh I've *always* been psyched about Canada! Grew-up an hour from the border! And since we didn't have Cable till the early 90's in my neck of the thick woods, all I had to watch were 3 different versions of CBUT and the Bellingham station (KVOS). Mr. Dress-Up, The Friendly Giant, Fred Penner's Place and Sesame Street featuring FRENCH instead of Spanish were all I knew :)
