I hope MEC cleans house on those connected to entities that don't meet their 'values'! They can start with shutting down their Victoria store - how can they continue to contribute their sh*t to a city without a sewage treatment system? Are they OK with raw sewage in our oceans? Then maybe shut down their Calgary store too, because much of their revenue must come from customers that work for those filthy oil & gas companies - how can MEC possibly make their profit through that connection? Does MEC SUPPORT PIPELINES by doing business with their minions? Who does MEC bank with - I'm sure that they have some environmentally questionable investments. Where are their clothing lines made? - off-shore sweatshops?

You get the idea. If they're going to dissociate themselves with a corporation that has other holdings they don't like, then they should review all of their relationships.
