'The Source' was born from the Canadian version of Radio Shack. It has mimicked the unsuccessful Radio Shack business model of moving away from part & DIY supply to finished goods including, heavily, smart phones and gimmicky devices. It is currently owned by Bell Canada which has pretty deep pockets.
Their price are generally uncompetitive except during sales. I never shop there except for any of the relative few parts that they still stock. It's rather sad.
From Wikipedia, (HERE) ...
"The Source, (legal name The Source (Bell) Electronics Inc.) formerly known as RadioShack and later as The Source by Circuit City, is a Canadian electronics retailer with over 700 locations across Canada. Originally part of the American RadioShack chain, The Source is now owned by Bell Canada, which purchased the assets of InterTAN from bankrupt parent U.S. retailer Circuit City Stores in 2009. The company is a unit of 4458729 Canada Inc. and is based in Barrie, Ontario."
