[Peace-discuss] Walmart closing in Canada

[David Green]

But who did he apologize to--Walmart or the Nazis?

>From today's NY Times (excerpt)

Since August 2004, when this store became the only
unionized Wal-Mart in North America, Jonquière has
become a rallying cry for retail union organizers who
want to stop an erosion of membership in the grocery
industry in both Canada and the United States.

At least three other Wal-Mart outlets in Quebec have
received bomb threats since the Jonquière closing
announcement, forcing evacuations and losses in sales.
Bernard Landry, the leader of the separatist Parti
Québécois and a former premier of the province, has
announced that he is boycotting the chain. A Quebec
television broadcaster compared Wal-Mart to Nazism,
but later apologized.
