      Scotty Dunbar, a guard at Canadian Tire's Brampton warehouse, says the company's profit-sharing plan has given him incomparable security for his old age. Dunbar, 49, has used his equity in Canadian Tire shares to pay off his mortgage and start a business that later failed. He still has more than $120,000 left. He hopes to retire in few years.
