Financial Post online – Black Friday kicks off $5 billion retail drain out of Canada as shoppers head south

I’ve said before but it needs repeating. If Canadian retailers are getting it and trying to come up to speed dealing with the onslaught of Canadian shoppers hitting the exit doors going south, it’s time to re-invent the way we do business year round.

First integrate warranties – in global markets Sony is Sony, Apple is still iPhone, GM is still GM.

Where you buy doesn’t make a difference anymore except for price – right stupid !

Okay so if we all get it that price is the determining factor and we’re all buying from Walmart who’s buying from China, then adjust.

If prices and taxes are low, the spiraling effect on the market is such that everyone will profit from it. We’ve got technology to make things efficient now and younger people who understand it well enough to help companies remain competitive.

Thinking outside the boxES involves more than just a sprinkle of this and that to make things come together now.

Because of NAFTA and free trade agreements going global, borders are disappearing faster than dinosaurs. Integrate security, integrate policies, integrate commerce, integrate jobs.

It’ll be the only way for Canada to remain dominant – a magnet attracting everything under the Sun. Yep, good and bad. That’s where security comes in. If you want to change things socially, start with people’s pockets and work your way up the food chain. Gone are the days when Billionaires could rule the world. It’s now called the NET and it works at Light Speed.

If we do everything almost right, then our values will filter out to other nations. Why – because that’s human nature. In the past, people believed in dreams and knew where to go to make that happen. It was called the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. That’s changing…. soon people will want to be where the money is and it’s moving every which way but loose – globally.

Get on that bandwagon and watch your wildest dreams come true. No longer will you be tied to a nation and it’s national interests when governments aren’t in the business of helping people improve their Quality of Life standards.

The sooner Canada wakes up, the less NRGY it’ll take to get us all there. Otherwise, we’ll be spinning our wheels stuck in the mud and getting nowhere fast.

This goes for every single province and territory in Canada. Trade barriers are a thing of the past. Get over it and change or become Oil other provinces will feast on and use you to the max.

Get with the program, as the APT says – The Dance of Life & NRGY, get inTune with the Spirit and move in the right directions by putting together differences with respect and dignity. Bashing days are over. It’s a whole new ballgame.
