Turns out basing your economic development strategy on the goodwill of America isn't such a good idea.

If you decide to fight the United States Air Force and Marine Corps at the same time, turn to 82.

If you decide to dump a few million pounds of PCBs and discarded nuclear fuel into the waterway, turn to 266.

Let's just abolish the CF and then arm our native tribes like in the olden days. If the Algonquin or Mohawks agree to guard the boarder then they can have any land they choose between Etobicoke and the Rockies.

I believe this will work and is the way forward.

I also believe the Americans may not be the only invaders they repel.

They don't carry weapons, they carried outdoor wear made by companies that also make guns and ammo, that was the outcry

Isn't MEC that store that used to be phenomenal for outdoors gear but turned into a yoga wear outlet that barely has any selection in it's traditional strong areas because they're chasing the soccer mom market?

I went something like ten years between visits while I lived up north and never came to Vancouver and couldn't believe the changes.

The one downtown Toronto is still very much camping hiking and outdoor gear.

Maybe it depends on the market

Calgary is equally split between outdoor gear and yoga wear

First nations already own most of the land though. I recently read through treaty 7 and how they tricked the native leaders with a twist of language is shameful

I'd say its more they added stuff for the soccer mom market vs stopped catering to their traditional areas. I'm not a climber but their ski touring gear selection is still good.

I'm sure Ron realizes that as a co-op MEC is directly responsible to its members. So if they voted to drop the products, MEC is dropping the products.

Maybe Ron should've voted.

Ron likely isn't a member.

I liked MEC better when they didn't cater to suburban lifestyle people. I loved the super cheap yet reliable no name gear.

Ottawa store doesn't typically carry any useful parts for my commuter bike so I've been purchasing a lot more from Amazon

i guess outdoor enthusiasts know what they want and they can just order it online while people wandering in off the street are more likely to buy the flashy yoga pants and bike gear
