Was just signed up for a Canadian Tire Mastercard-- is it worth it or should I just cancel it?

Guide to Maximizing Canadian Tire Triangle Rewards
So today I went over to Canadian Tire to pick up some batteries when some sales guy there started chatting me up. He started talking about what I thought at first was a rewards card, but the more he went on the more it became apparent that this was an entirely new credit card-- the Canadian Tire Triangle Mastercard. I was a little overwhelmed, especially given how quickly the salesperson was bombarding me with info and asking for my own info, and just stood there saying yes. I'll admit, it is not a moment I'm proud of; I struggle with anxiety, and found myself in a situation where exiting the convo, or saying no, would have at that moment felt incredibly awkward.
Anyway, I've been approved for the card; it may arrive in the mail soonish. However, while I have the digital version of the card, I have NOT used it to purchase anything. Not until I do some research and decide next steps.
So, with regard to those next steps:
Is the Canadian Tire Triangle Card worth it at all? I anticipate I may get some gardening equipment from Canadian Tire soon, but otherwise I have no idea if I may be making any big expenditures from them in the near future. Possibly not.
Can I cancel the card ASAP, or will that negatively affect my credit history?
They collected a lot of my info-- my address, my SIN, my work info, etc etc to see if I was approved for this card. As far as I know, the Canadian Tire Card is a completely legal thing, but all the same, does anything about this feel suspicious to you all?
Thanks in advance.
