Canada has all sorts of people, like every other country. Canadian mining companies are awful in Mexico, negotiating draconian concessions from corrupt governments, which allows them to extract minerals very cheap while ignoring environmental laws.

I understand that corrupt politicians are to blame, but Canadian businessmen can be surprisingly impolite and exploitative.

A boycott should be held until the brand changes position, if only for economic gain. A day of boycott would affect next quarter reports negligibly, if at all.

Best of all (for him) is that he can run for president in the future and potentially rule for two more terms.

Even then, the deal was for 10 seconds after switching the light off, there is no mention of any grace period to switch it back on. As soon as he opens the door and reaches for the switch in the dark, he’s done for.
