Amazon closes warehouses in BC in 3……2…….

Quebecers here, been there done that, sorry for all BC workers who will lose their job

Nah, I think they took a strategic L there to scare others from unionizing. It’s likely unfeasible to close too many warehouses in Canada and still be able to make money. If they do, their costs are going up, shipping would get worse and they’re likely to lose market share to Canadian or othet American competitors operating here.

If every Amazon warehouse closed and the American business closed up shop in Canada completely, I would consider this a total win.

Yes, I have cancelled all my amazon things. The thing is though is the people who work there, sure I wish I could say they could just easily find a new job from a Canadian employer but that is going to take time.

If only we could have predicted that the orange man was going to become president, rip up NAFTA, create CUSMA because he liked the idea that he created it better, then rip up CUSMA because it was the worst deal ever. All while he thinks he is god king of the world.

I would say good let Amazon close up and leave Canada, Canadians at this moment will be more likely to look for Canadian alternatives.

Agreed. Amazon isn’t a net benefit for Canada. It extracts profits from Canada and ships them out. They’re not available to fund local economies. I’m afraid Walmart could fill some of the void but some would alsp go local.

It has been about a year since I was last in a Walmart, I have only started boycotting Walmart in January though, I hear that many of them are just husks of what they used to be though.

I meant Walmart in the online marketplace context.
