Look at how many Canadians Walmart employs! (Is a position I've heard several times).

The part nobody understands is that ownership is explicitly about control and profit-taking. Doing business is a two-way street, but in situations like these, there's an awful lot more traffic going in one direction, and you can use your imagination to figure out which direction that traffic is going. Plantations employed lots of slaves too, gave them housing and food, but it didn't mean they were generous charities. Yeah that's an extreme example, but this is the point. An employer that comes here and pays hundreds of thousands of people within spitting distance of minimum wage -- literally the bare minimum legally and economically possible, does not make them a good and genuine employer that has Canada or Canadians' best interests at heart. They just want our money, while giving the least possible back.

Fuck 'em.
