Yes! I once saw a report on either CBC, or CTV on how WalMart goes into small communities and basically kills off all the local small business by purposely undercutting the prices of the local businesses. Then after all the local businesses have closed, they open up another Walmart in a neighbouring town, and then close the local one. This is how they eliminate competition in non-urban areas.

After Walmart being caught employing illegal immigrants, I was not suprised when they announced the class-action suit saying they descriminate against women. They are just too sleazy for words.

I don't mind companies that compete on the quality of their product, or economies of scale, but I will not give my money to someone who engages in very sleazy practices under the guise of competition.
