    I just rented The Corporation. Also, my girlfriend did a course with Kai Nielsen at Concordia. These two things drove home to me the crap that is going on re: Walmart and all the rest. Especially the closure of the Jonquiere outlet! As regards your story… I have my own. I was offered nine dollars refund for a pair of shoes that cost me seventy in the Angrignon store. Nothing would budge these greasers! Why would I argue for twenty minutes if I was tryinh to fool them?! Customer’s always right? Not in Montreal! (Elsewhere in Canada Walmart will bend over backwards to make you happy, I have found). Anyway, after thinking harder about this corporate crap, I’m ashamed to have bought any boots at all….
