Show Notes

Over 600 big name store locations have closed in Canada in the last three years, resulting in over 17,000 lost jobs, and that doesn't include hundreds more small stores that have shut down. Is this just the impact of Amazon, or is there something deeper happening? And what does this mean for the Canadian economy going forward?

On today's show first-time guest Stephanie Hughes explains why the stores are closing, and what this means for the typical retail worker specifically, and the Canadian economy and real estate.
