They're coming from larger markets, so already have a larger sales base, large income flow, and reduced costs from producing at a larger scale.

Y'all come from large provinces, don't ya? Because none of you are talking like you've ever seen a bigger neighbour wipe out your local industry. Or paidnany attention while Walmart and Amazon decimated things.

Because none of you are talking like you’ve ever seen a bigger neighbour wipe out your local industry. Or paidnany attention while Walmart and Amazon decimated things.
