Have you ever gotten a headache from spending most of your day in disbelief at the dumb things companies do?? How people react when they finally notice? and how other people are like "hmm, whatever!", when they find out?
I got 2 of those 3 today when I read an article in the newspaper regarding the red Canadian Olympic mittens that are being pushed as a "show your support" type of thing. Supposedly they are selling quite well, and I'm all for supporting our atheletes, but ALL profits from this type of thing should go to them!
Therein lies the problem, The Hudson Bay Company is the official supplier of of Olympic clothing, and as such they are promoting their brand and getting people in their stores where they'll purchase lots of other things, they should show there support by giving the vast majority of profits to the athletes, but that's just my opinion.
Now the real problem, if things are the same as they have been in the past, the vast majority(if not all) of their clothing is MADE IN CHINA, today's article proves that hasn't changed since the gloves ... yep those pretty red mittens were made in some little sweat shop in China.
I know, a few of you are like "you cannot be serious, that makes no sense", others will be "oh, who cares, but me it's like ....well you can tell that it pisses me off:(
So they had some made locally, you know how much more it cost them PER PAIR .... 15 cents!
Think about that!

Buy the Roots Canada Clothing, it's made in Canada and a portion of the proceeds from the sale goes to the Right to Play organization.

It takes a little extra time, but you can still find items made in Canada.
