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.
