Canadian Tire will take them back because they DGAF.

Gone are the days where Canadian Tire will put some scotch tape on the box and sell it to the next guy...they just pass the loss onto the supplier.
It's very unethical...maybe consider keeping the heaters or selling them on Kijiji at a loss. Without a shred of doubt, you're deliberately screwing somebody over and taking food off their table by stealing time with their product then sticking them with costs over and above the cost of the actual unit (freight, administrative and warehousing costs) when you're done using it.

Come on. The guys kids were freezing. It's not unethical to buy and return something in those circumstances. It's not like he's running a side hustle buying and returning space heaters. If he is, then you have a point.
I think Canadian Tire has some wiggle room in their margins when they are consistently able to sell stuff at 75% off. Or do you voluntarily pay full price for socket wrenches because of tHe SuPpLiErsS
