There was a commission recently, headed by the honorable david crombie.
Who does What
Apparently it tried to spell out the truth about our governmental
structure, the responsibilities of the various legislatures in our
province.
I would like to see a new and different type of investigation.
I call it, for want of a better phrase,
Who owns what.
In 1993 I boycotted the FW Woolworth co.inc. I haven't shopped there since.
I extended the boycott to the stores that, according to the FW Woolworth
co.inc. discount card (1993 version), were part of the FW Woolworth
co.inc. group of companies.
Here's the list.
Woolworths
Woolco
Ashbrooks
Best of Times
Champs Sports
Reflexions
U.B. Anywear
Northern Reflexions
Northern Traditions
Silk & Satin
Canary Island
Foot Locker
Karuba
Kinney/Fredelle
Lady Foot Locker
Randy River
Willow Ridge
Robinsons
In keeping with the "truth in advertising" principle I think all
companies should indicate their ultimate ownership, this will enable all
consumers to know which companies and countries are profiting from their
patronage.
Ask yourself, " where is my hard earned money going?"
If you agree with this truth in advertising ideal tell your M.P or M.P.P,
and let others know to pass the message on.
If you want to know why I am still boycotting these companies, Email me at
