Trashy in China.2, Day 4
How the Jays might affect the election results. Maybe.
Coffee rocks!
The CPC is taking the NDP rise in the polls...
Evil Empire sending more Death Stars to Canada!
Oh goody.
Just the news I like to see on what is already a dreary and grey Ottawa day.
Walmart is planning on opening 40 so-called “supercenters” in Canada by year’s end. They claim it will generate 9,200 jobs.
Having never set foot inside one of these dens of phthalates and underpaid labour, I really have no idea what a “supercenter” consists of?
Super-crappy products?
Supercilious managers?
Superficial adherence to basic health and safety requirements?
Or the fact that these blue boxes plopped in the middle of everywhere are a Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious blight on the landscape.
Sigh.

Yeah, yeah… I know it shows that we Canadians like cheap crap just as much as our neighbours to the south.
I just feel a little sorry for the small independent shops who usually have a lifespan of but a few years after a Walmart locates to their area…
One just opened in Kemptville… and who wants to bet that there will be numerous “out of business” signs going up in that burgh within a few years.
I’ve been inside a Walmart. It’s full of super amounts of Canadians.
Like it or not, Walmart provides a service that Canadians want.
I think that speaks much more about Canadians than it does of Walmart.
