Reminder for those who aren't aware that the entire reason Sears has collapsed is because its CEO is a Randroid nutjob hedge fund investor who restructured his entire company to maximize competition, including between departments and managers, and unsurprisingly the entire thing collapsed because everyone was looking out for themselves instead of trying to promote the company's common good.

I thought that was only Sears US, not Canada.

What kind of coffee and donuts? Maybe you'll get in trouble with us, too. The taste-makers of the CanPol thread are very particular.

I went to Tim's and asked for 2 boxes of coffee and 3 dozen assorted donuts?

I got in trouble because they company was going through a huge management sweep and my new superintendent felt that I was trying to "suck up" to my subordinates too much and they were the enemy because they were costing the company millions.

I mean, kind of, but I don’t think that internal competition was the problem in Canada. The much bigger problem was the constant management turnover (they had a ton of Canadian CEOs all pushing their own visions). And being forced to divest assets to pay dividends to the US.

Do you think Cheryl Gallant will die and take the rest of Renfrew County with her? They're miserable enough people when they're alive. Old, ignorant rural fuckheads whose only pass times are rampant alcoholism, racism and suicide.

The Edmonton Sun posted some Republican's op-ed about how Obamacare is a "socialized medicine Trojan horse." I know they're trying to push medicare privatization hard since those UCP fuckers both said they want two-tier, but I don't think they could possibly do it in a dumber way.

I haven't lived there but I've been through it a bunch of times. It always feels like a desperate and dingy place to me. Trashy. Not somewhere I'd want to live, and that's coming from someone who likes Thunder Bay.

On the bright side, the countryside around it is gorgeous, and Lake Superior Provincial Park to Terrace Bay is some of the most scenic driving in Canada.

Bleh, I potentially have a career opportunity that would have me living there and working at the hospital in health care. I'm just extremely wary about the town's reputation especially since I'm not white.

Sons of Odin sounds pretty active in the Sault as well. Not exactly enticing. But dang lots of relatively cheap property and just gorgeous places around it.

It's a pretty town if you're an outdoorsy person but I've only ever been a few times as a kid.

Also it sucks that you have to ask 'how racist is this town' before considering a move. I wish we lived in a world where you didn't.
