We say we want variety and competition in Canada... but in reality ''no we don't'' is essentially what we said to Target Canada during their short existence. We have Loblaws, Costco and Walmart case closed.

I'll always remember going to Target in early December to buy snow boots for my son for Xmas. They had only 3 styles, all were hideous in functional design and style, and they didn't have a single pair in his size (9 years old). Went a few more times when I had things to buy and left disappointed almost every time. I'd have thought an experienced retailer would have had a much better strategy than to roll out 100 stores with no inventory. Just bizarre.
