Plus, let’s be realistic. Champagne and the rest of these Liberals won’t be in power for much longer, so anyone who thinks anything they say now is relevant is delusional. This is the very definition of a LAME DUCK government.

Good, get rid of Amazon. They are killing the planet and every country’s local economy.

So they should.
Provinces should have solidarity on issues like this.
They obviously are pulling out of Quebec as a punishment for them voting to go union, and using it as a veiled threat to any others who think about organizing.
We have laws against retaliation for labour organizing.
INB4 the anti union apologists reply to me saying that’s not the reason they are leaving, or that governments can’t force a business to operate.

What exactly is the relationship between the Canadian government and Amazon?

Ah more lip service from the Government that will do nothing but bring in more cheap labour for Amazon.

They should be forced to open the books to actually show that the Quebec market was unprofitable if they want to use that as an excuse to get around unionization retaliation.
EDIT: *To be fair* (before the corporate bootlickers get their pitchforks out) they never explicitly said it was about profitability, I suppose:
>Amazon says it plans to return to its third-party model, “supported by small local businesses” for package deliveries.
>“This is something we already had in Quebec, we had it in place until 2020,” said Agrait. “We believe it’s going to allow us to provide the same great business to our customers.”

They need to hold these billion dollar businesses accountable.

It’s tough to buy local products when they’re 50% more expensive than what you can find on Amazon or at Walmart.

Yes, review it, thanks. And don’t just review, tax/fine them or something. Also let’s invest in our own Amazon, please. 🙂

I dropped Amazon about 18 months ago. I was never getting that good of quality. They are a blight.

My Amazon is only useful for delivering kitty litter.

Quebec and the other provinces need to adopt a German approach to industrial relations. Unions as of right, sector-based negotiations. Add Danish “flexi security”.

More jobs if we can replace them and more businesses replace the codependency we have on US owned suppliers.
Sushyneutah on
Good, the other warehouses should unionize as well.
I cancelled my Amazon subscription.
US companies really be speed running destroying their reputations up here. Which is fantastic, maybe we’ll actually get some Canadian competition

People seem very confused as to what Amazon the company actually is.
The government are essentially reliant on Amazon in order to be able to operate. (Will also be true of Microsoft). They are today what IBM was in the 1970s.

“may review”
In other words, they’ll do nothing.
