Today as I passed a Kinkos sign, I was reminded of the most surprising thing that I’ve seen in Ghana. It took a moment to register, because I’m so used to seeing the icon, but once on a trotro, I passed a Canadian Tire sign. I located it later, and it definitely uses the logo, and it definitely doesn’t have anything to do with the Canadian Tire corporation.

Really? With the maple leaf at the top and everything??
It was an honest-to-god Canadian Tire logo, circa sometime in the 80s or 90s I think… It looked a little older. Anyway, it was obviously modified to reflect the actual things that the store sold. I’m not quite sure what the story is, but it sure was surprising.
