TKO Target can't handle the Canadian market
- Thread starter Angstrom
- Start date
And in both cases Canada whomped the Yankee's a-s-s.
(well I think the war actually ended in a tie).
B00Mer; said:
Yeah but you are going to lose 1,200+ jobs!
Besides, Canada did repel USA "invasions" during some hockey matches. But at least we get back at them when we kick their culos in soccer.
I heard 17,000 jobs lost.
Maybe they are looking for a bailout from the Canadian Government. ?? Maybe it's all talk, and threats to see if they can get a Corporate handout.
Initially that's what I heard as well.
But the local Fox network said the lower number - either it was a reference to managerial positions or they just can't get their facts straight again.
Still, it means that jobs will be lost and that's bad.
Really a job at target is worth saving??
A job at a Domatar factory that pays $28 to $36hr that is worth saving.. but NAFTA screwed that up.
Good paying manufacturing jobs have been lost and replaced with call centers and WalMart/Target jobs..
Yeah, they were replaced with jobs in the Oil field.. hows that going now, with an estimate of 250,000 jobs to be cut as oil prices drop.. Canada is left with service industry jobs.
Canada, Mexico of the North and our dollar dropping like a Peso.

Where is the Government of the People, for the People.
Sorry BOOM - can't answer that one as I don't know the political scene in Canada. Better to have some jobs than none. Hopefully, this will not have a bad impact on the economy and those folks can get new and better jobs.
Jack Layton was awesome.. he would be PM if he lived.
I'm republican, but pro Canada. Canada 1st. Dump NAFTA and bring back the manufacturing jobs to Canada..
NAFTA is great for the 1%'ers, not so much for the Working Class.

It's better than being unemployed, isn't it?
Should have gone to college so they can get a better job.
You mean Good Government, don't you?
You really believe manufacturing went to the US because of NAFTA? I would suggest you recheck your data, because they all went to the East.
I guess if you don't have pride.. it is. There are always jobs that pay, if you have an education.
I see, being unemployed somehow carries more dignity than being unemployed in your eyes?
Did you listen to the Video, we ship logs to CHINA and get back products.. products we should be building here..
We need Fair Trade and stronger protection for Canadian workers.. not these global companies raping Canada's resources and selling them to China and the USA.
Not what I said, working in a job that pays a living wage is having pride.. working at a WalMart, Target, Call Center, come on... a summer job for a teen or part time while in college.
Your companies ship them to China because its cheaper to pay Chinese workers.
Canadian Global companies rape others, welcome to the wonderful world of globalization.
Yes, I agree with you, but there are people that couldn't or wouldn't apply themselves towards a better education. You're only thinking of the Walmarts and Targets of the world, the small business would not be able in many cases to afford an increase of base pay.
That would be :"peace, order, and good government."
thank you
thank you very much
I'm here all year
Try the veal.

We also ship logs to the US. Mostly because labour, tax and environmental costs are far lower there. Same reason raw logs and almost every other raw material goes overseas. Lower labour costs.
Then there is also the inconvenient truth that the good people in Canada(BC especially) do not want any industry to spoil their pristine environment.
And that most of us spend the majority of our working days trying to find a place to hide so we can produce the least possibly.
