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

Apparently Rona is also American. Peavy is going out of business. I wish there was a better hardware store than Canadian Tire around me.

Home hardware is fantastic. They even have a "home supply" brand in many places that sells building supplies.

Rona is Canadian. HQ in Quebec.

Rona is owned by a US private equity firm. It was Canadian, but not for years now.

God damn. What does that mean in terms of tax, etc? They still pay corporation tax and whatnot in Canada? Profits, etc. reported in Canada or repatriated to the US?

What about Home Hardware?

home hardware is canadian... but at least in my small community they are very small stores
