It's happening! The Canadian Costco cult is showing fractures!

See the thread on the cult page itself: Costco Canada.

People are dropping their Costco memberships, and slowly weaning their shopping habits away from the American Bank owned: Costco. This is still the minority viewpoint as seen in the comments. But our education campaigns are slowly shifting the tides!
Remember, Costco is an American cult.
The same herd mentality that brought sheep into Costco's doors will bring them out, and onto a Canadian run option.
Costco has no direct Canadian wholesale competitor, yet.
But I have a sense that's going to change very soon. Costco is absolutely ripe for Canadian disruption. Go Leafs!
We try to strike a balance between local producers (fruit, veg, meats) that are more expensive and shopping at Walmart for staples. I know, I know Walmart but they have the MOST Canadian and international products here! It’s ridiculous but even our local coop where we shop too has LESS Canadian or non-US stuff!! Sobeys is mediocre at best as well.
Superstore won’t see us again (they are the worst liars and overpriced no end) so Walmart it is. With a heavy dose of ultra local farm products. Some Costco shopping (4x/year?) but I can’t stomach shopping there more often because of the amount of people.
