Fun fact - Walmart has very little of the "low-end" connotations that it does in the U.S.
That's correct. The reason Wal-Mart is popular here is because it's close to being the only department store still operating. Even that Canadian icon of department stores, The Bay, appears to be on its last legs. When it is gone, Wal-Mart pretty much has the market all to itself. The one area in which Wal-Mart however did fail and, at least around these parts, has shut down is automotive parts and repair. Couldn't compete at all with Canadian Tire or the local tire, brake and alignment franchises and shops. I heard that one of the problems Wal-Mart had was that it couldn't attract qualified mechanics to come and work for them.
