Well that sucks.
Alternately, at least for small engines there are alternatives. I know our local small engine place had 4l cans of another similar product. Not as affordable if you have to fill your cars tank but great for small engines.
Mind you if it's a newer car with a plastic tank you probably don't have to be as concerned about it being full over the winter.

Jokes on you guys, I own a forklift. I even have a little man basket. I could probably fit four of you in there and we could cruise around causing trouble.

But I'm a wheelchair user, is it four bi-ped men or 1 already seated with another on his lap?

Can you still get brake rotors turned ?
As long as they are in spec it got to be cheaper than replacement right ?
Suggestions in SE Calgary ?

If they're in spec... why get them turned at all?
For most average everyday cars it's actually not really worth getting them turned; replacements are cheap. I redid the brakes on my daily driver (2010 Mazda 3) last year, and brand new rotors were <<$50/ea. from RockAuto, incl. shipping.

100 each for my truck...
There is a pulsation when braking.
I meant in spec after getting them turned.

I thought I would chime in with a question as brakes is the topic.
2008 Matrix. Bought new rotors and brakes for the front and drums and pads for the back and the kit that goes with the back brakes. Doing it myself. I have done the front numerous times. It has upwards of 1M kms. Not joking. Its a beast and was my highway commuter.
I did the front brakes and all was good. Such a huge improvement. A couple weeks later I do the back and now spongy and not good. I have tried to fix two times. The first time I didn't think the adjuster was tight enough so tightened it. It was too tight but still spongy hitting the pedal. E brake was super tight and on a cable. Second time readjusted the tightener and appeared perfect. Still spongy. What am I doing wrong. Any help appreciated.

Flush your brake fluid, its hydroscopic so it will suck water out of the air. Thats what causes the spongey feeling.

Everytime I see the new CIBC logo I can't help but think about crappy cheap French vehicles....
 
Is the AB War Room consulting for CIBC?

Ugh Mazda 3 Brakes.
Shopping list:
-Pads
-Rotors
-Anti-squeal
-3 cases of PB Blaster to get the fused rotor off the hub

I have cans and cans of WD-40 (none of which I bought for myself, I think...) which I should just toss because it's garbage. I bought cans of Seafoam Deep Creep and Liquid Wrench penetrating oil and they both worked great, it was no trouble at all getting the rotors off.
Granted, I'm the one who'd last done the brakes on the car, so I was prescient enough to put some anti-seize on the face of the hub precisely so that it wouldn't be a hassle getting them off later.

It's funny, I noticed CIBC changed their logo, but I couldn't remember what the last one looked like. And I actually worked on about half a dozen branches!
This is the logo I picture when someone says "CIBC":
Similarly I remember the RBC logo as such:
