Colby Cosh has interesting take on Wal-Mart closing a store in Quebec instead of letting the employees unionize.
...My brain is drowning in WTFs here. Bernard Landry, for instance, offered this pearl of wisdom: "Quebec is an advanced and progressive society [you can tell by its 1960s labour legislation -ed.] and when you invest here you must obey our laws and the spirit of those laws. Anti-union attitudes are not welcomed here." So what am I missing? Quebec has certain laws, and Wal-Mart closed the store rather than operate in conformity with those laws. Isn't that what they should do? Doesn't Bernard Landry want Wal-Mart to respect the rules and mores of Quebec? The mayor of the Jonquière region called Wal-Mart a "bad corporate citizen." Then why aren't you celebrating the closure of the store, you crazy idiot? The bad citizen is leaving! Wave bye-bye!
