Sure, but for a number of customers (and increasing year over year), that's not an option. I'm not choosing between an ICE Honda and all the other non-Honda. I'm choosing between an electric Honda or an electric non-Honda.

If they don't want my money at all, then sure. But this is the sort of decision making that killed Sears and Blockbuster. Society is moving in a particular direction. They can keep up with the trends, or die.

Drive forward, drive forward, reverse, reverse, left blinker, right blinker, left blinker, right blinker, Brake pedal, Accelerator pedal, honk.

What did they expect? They made this decision during the holidays. Then they need to design, build, and deploy a website. If they have employees capable of doing this, they probably already had plans to work on something else. And if they didn't have the employees, they need to hire them.

Unless the whole idea was to just throw up a Geocities page titled "Dead People", these things take time to do properly and respectfully.

Having one disability doesn't mean they are affected by this change. The article says 77,000 people collect disability in Alberta, which is about 1.8% of Albertans.

That said, 27% is a much bigger number than I expected, even for any amount of disability. Do you have a link to that data? I'd be curious to know more about it.

People with disabilities are a very small minority, and it's impossible to know if they voted conservative. This isn't a leopards eating faces moment, it's a fuck you I've got mine.

Obviously they were already in a shitty situation being disabled in Alberta, but this is just one more sign that Albertans don't care about them.

Much like HBC, Canadian Tire has a lot of overpriced retail. They don't overlap much beyond kitchenware though.

I guess this gets Canadian Tire into the full department store business like Walmart, Target, or Sears. Now they just need to start selling groceries (again).

Revenue is a useless metric.

It's about 1.4% of their annual profit.

That seems reasonable given this is only about users in Texas. If this same result were applied to all users and jurisdictions worldwide, we'd be looking at about 200-300% of their annual profit.

What trips were they taking to the States? I don't think I ever had a field trip out of country, though it's been a while since I graduated. I think the furthest we ever went was Quebec City.

In this case, I don't think it particularly matters if they care about law and order or not.

Unless USA decides to help them secede with the backing of the American military (which isn't impossible, but for now, we'll call it unlikely), then the secession process is going to go about the same as Michael Scott declaring bankruptcy. They declare it, wave their little F Carney flags around, roll some coal, and continue to be part of Canada.

Every thread where you see "ceo of failing company gets $3M bonus" followed by "those workers could have used that" ignores the fact that there are so many employees that, divided evenly, it's never more than $5, and frequently less than a dollar.

Yes, that's technically better than nothing. And I agree the CEO doesn't deserve a bonus if their company is failing. But focusing on this is missing the bigger picture of the lack of workers' rights in America, and paints a target on the wrong people (CEOs instead of the government).

They can't actually leave. The lands are indigenous and have not been ceded to the province or the crown. There are treaties allowing the crown to use them (in this case, as the province of Alberta), but basically it's as though I've got a tenant in a bedroom saying he's going to keep the bedroom, stop paying rent, and he owns it now.

Wait, I thought we were voting for Pierre Pontiac from the Conversation Party.
