I definitely thought this was going to be about our absolutely insane cheese prices in Canada because of the f$(&ing dairy lobby. The prices are downright unethical.

Springbank Cheese would be my recommendation. Or the cheese place in Kensington beside the wine market.

Gonna go to the Cheese Peasant....buy cheese from poor people who pay their bills I guess.
Maybe we can get about a dozen people to chip in for a wheel and then roll to see who gets to keep it.

Given the nature of the industry with high turnover it's unlikely that the severance would have been more than two weeks and no one gets severance in these types of closures. So really you have a few managers who are out vacation time.

This sucks but she didn't go out of her way to screw her employees. Her lease holder is probably the one she owes the most to not to mention her other vendors.

As for the new business from the outside it looks like she couldn't make the business work with the liabilities it had but the cash flow with a less punitive lease and no debt was still viable. Without these types of protections businesses wouldn't open.

I think the bottom line to me is that she paid the wages of her employees before closing. That's pretty ethical when she likely could have gotten around paying them
I'd say her name been fairly dragged through the mud from all of this

Janice can spin it any way she wants. She was obligated to pay out her employee's wages to get that consumer proposal approval from the courts.

It made me wonder how much sympathy she thought she can get from the public. People arent stupid. When people start digging around like they did in Reddit and found out that she has a cabin and went on a vacation to Cape Breton before she persued her consumer proposal, the public will find out what a fraud she is.

Also, if you think a restaurant's only tenured FTEs are the managers, it goes to show how little you know about the restaurant industry. It isn't always the revolving door you make it out to be

Quite the gift I'd say so good for you but I'm not sure serving it on a bed of hay would be preferred over having it on a mirror or a dark plate. As for the smell, yeah some like it and others don't, definitely a unique smell though!

I second this motion. Stick it to the unethical Beaton's of the world and steal yourself some Christmas cheese.
