Saw this over on the other site. Seems like a fantastic idea.

    I can’t say what it means for tax, but I assume it’s similar to Walmart or other US chains operating with a Canadian subsidiary corporation(ie Walmart Canada vs Walmart). I’m guessing the money goes back home.

    After a quick search it seems like Home Hardwares are still independent and Canadian owned. When I was a kid, the ones around here were all owned by regular people who lived in the town the store was in. Canadian Tire is similar I believe.

      Man, that sucks about Rona. I guess it’s similar with Tim Hortons, Wendy, Burger King all being HQd in Toronto but owned by a Brazilian fund?

        Yeah, pretty much. I’m going to try my best to shop at Home Hardware now.
