We need stores selling the other 20 models of TVs that you can get in Europe or Asia. We don't need 10000 car dealerships all selling the same 3 car models. We need car dealerships selling the 20 models you can get in Europe or Asia. There are 30 different laptop models with different specs that might fit you. But in Canada you only get 3 laptop models and the rest are in Europe or Asia. Target came here and offered nothing different. That's the problem. If I go to a new store it's to buy new things. Not to see the same thing plus minus a few pennies. This is the problem with Canadian retail. Not price.

This is a problem with supply chain, middle-men, vendors, importers, etc. and not the store. Most of the stuff you want isn't available in Canadian-compliant packaging or passed regulations. Ultimately, Wal-Mart and Target Canada source their goods from the same wholesalers who supply stuff produced for the Canadian market.
