Hope this isn’t true. Or I hope your minimum wage laws are stronger than the USA’s. Walmart is robbing us blind by making US taxpayers subsidize their business.
Oh, don't worry, most Walmart employees are on welfare to top up their pathetic wages. Minimum wages aren't that bad here 🇨🇦, but short hours make up for it.
Sorry, one of my bugbears!
Both companies employ many Canadians.
Personally I’m not sure what to do when it comes to boycotting companies that employ Canadians. I sure don’t want to contribute to fellow Canadians getting laid off.

Both are owned by Americans & the fact is, Walmart sells Canadian goods at a price people can afford. I have never found anything affordable in The Bay, not even 30+ yrs ago when The Bay was "competition" for Sears.
Yes! Me too. We had a Zellers close to us when I was a kid but then we moved & the closest was over an hr away but it was my grandmother & great grandmother's favorite store. 😆 We got so many Christmas presents from Zellers from them, growing up.
I hope we buy back the name and establish a cooperative that supports Canadian businesses and makes products available across Canada including remote areas.
