Given that there are no other stores in its market segment still in business (though there is apparently an attempt to revive Zellers now that The Bay is gone and someone else holds the trademark), I don't think you can fairly say that. For many, as @Kimmio Laughterlove indicates, it is the best option available. Even some of the "Dollar" (usually they are more like $2-5 nowadays) stores, which have kind of taken over the bargain niche once held by brands like Biway and Bargain Harold's, are American chains.



And this as well. They are providing employment for probably thousands of Canadian workers, many of them students, entry level, and post-retirement in need of income to supplement their pensions.

I liked Zellers. There was a big uproar about Zellers moving out and Target moving in. Target was an American store that failed in Canada. I never went there but I heard it was disappointing.

Perhaps patriotic Canadians should rather move to another continent?

Moving abroad doesn’t make Canadians less Canadian; it gives them a chance to share what makes Canada special with the world.

In my case, I moved to South Korea, a country which has a good relationship with Canada, a country which has never bullied Canada, nor threatened to swallow up Canada
 
Depends on the rubbins ... some things are contageous in severe friction and such close relations can make one familiar enough that one believes they are critical of self ... self being a complex identity that most people ignore because intelligence is said to be evil compared to opinionization!

I expect opinions are rampant ... being the divisions as they are ...
 
Gotta stop blaming people for having heavy emotions about difficult things. They didn’t make themselves that way. It’s illogical not allow emotion. Humans were given that quality as much as we were given the colour of hair on our heads or lose the hair on their heads, or hair colour changes, or eye colours, or changes and variations to bodies. Why is the brain any different? There are wide variations of human beings? Medicine allows some of those things to improve, other things are what they are. Including emotions. Emotions reacting to psyche/ psyche reacting to emotions. Meant to be complimentary rather than conflicting. Then life would be easier. Does one drive the other to extreme behaviours that create problems for humanity? Which one? Is emotion all to blame? Again I wonder, how can you blame it when one is made to have emotion and sometimes psyche creates difficult emotion by provoking pain? Can one leaning too far over into their psyche, admit that it’s out of balance and think about not doing that, so as to allow more peace?

Some people just shut out emotion as much as they can so they’re not able to care about anything, or all they have is “logic” that doesn’t make sense without emotion.

Being able to feel what somebody is going through is important. Callous decisions are made without it. And the emotional side feels the callousness and wants better than that for all people. That’s why it reacts.

Does the psyche consider that in its cooled analysis? I think mine just did.
 
Can a person who leans heavily on psyche have helpful intentions for people if they aren’t considerate of another’s emotional sensitivity?

A person without consideration of psyche doesn’t think things through very deeply. A person without consideration of emotion doesn’t feel for others.

The majority of people have both but are deficient in both, I think. That’s why they say people of average intelligence thrive better than highly intelligent people. They’re the middle managers and bureaucrats mostly - the wheels in the machinery. They don’t question much and don’t feel much and are fine with it. Those who do, hate being in those roles. Drudgery. I met creative types slogging it out in office jobs. Not where they were most needed. I could probably say the same about myself. I lack the confidence and the criticism doesn’t help.

What if we cultivated the best of human emotion and thought instead of encouraging the worst (most damaging)?

Some people say all the right things but don’t feel it. Some people feel the right emotions but the words come out wrong. And that can vary with context. Eg. the sales pitch, the stranger in a strange situation, the lecture, the job interview, the new relationship, the stale routine, the urgent situation, the boring conversation.

Word is more than symbols on a page. It’s how we communicate in general. Even illiterate people can communicate ideas and emotions that are universal.

If you can make it bad - in a destructive state - why not just make it better? What do you have against making a better world? If you can make life more difficult, why not make it easier? We were put here. We’re imperfect. But how can we be imperfect if that’s how we were made to be? We didn’t create ourselves. We didn’t create everything out of nothing ourselves. What cruel God would blame its creation for itself, and not let it make a better home on earth? I don’t believe it would do that. What creator would hate its creation so much? That’s a destroyer not a creator.

Who would find that so entertaining? The same people who torture animals for fun? There’s already too much of that mentality happening in ‘this’ world. Including those who like to torture psyches and be amused by the emotional reactions. Why is that required by any creative being that created everything? Or is it not required?
Micah? The justice and mercy part seems missing from the equation in people entertained by others’ pain.

Are you confusing emotions - universal automatic responses (fear, sadness, anger, etc.) hardwired in all humans - with the subjective feelings/personal stories and meaning that individuals attach to them?

Validate the emotion. Question the feeling/story.

For example two people get laid off (same emotion: fear/sadness).

One might feels "I'm worthless and doomed."

Another might feel "This is painful but a chance to pivot."

Same trigger, different experience.

Would such creations deny themselves as to present as alter truth? Imagine alter things existing although one of them denies the other ...

Then the essence of Egypt would feed on Rome and imagination wins in the reworking of a great power by the Queen of Mysteries ... Ca Davers ... when rendering the aloo oil for the future is assured ... it is a slow process and thus need for patient essence ... squeakers (far-off whines)? Silent in the cool of evening ... an Egyptian dream? Illustrations of feeding off the past ... bones of the narrative ...

Structural err ... as a floc will declare you wrong and pick it to the end ...
 
Imagine a medium right in the midst of the emotional and the non emotional ... there a line would be ascribed ... as olo ... all alone in the great extent ... countered by lol as chuckle in the background over something being grasped ... thus a system of lines and hollows ... nothings? Things that drop out of regard? Imagine things without respect because of high feelings ... therein a variety of clashes ... heavenly incidents in some factors ...

Some leanings will dislike anything ... why some materials are out there ... beyond use ... except for burying prises in ... subtleties ...

Beauties out of regard? Some twists one has to get around ...

Not all of those are hardwired in all humans. They are in most of us.
Some people enjoy causing frequent pains and dizzying pivots.
Have you ever felt “I’ve had enough and I’m not going to accept this from you anymore!” Let them know how much harm they did and how (and how! And a ‘what for’!) somebody who really hurt you… and wouldn’t acknowledge or change it… then felt horrible about it? That’s not psychopathic. It’s not the most helpful, no doubt. But it is very human. It’s not the same as consistently seeking to cause pain for amusement.
