Ladies and Gentlemen
The demise of Canada 3000 has been months in the making. Right before our eyes, in fact.
As unfortunate as Canada 3000s demise may seem...
here is a company that went into 'overdrive' with impatience and the roof fell in.
Simply, the destiny of its' mediocre management.
It must be remembered that Canada 3000 Management were rushing around trying to execute no less than four business plans at the same time. Paying wages, leases, etc. to a workforce far beyond what was required. No matter how you slice it, a very costly move, even in the soundest of economies.
The merger with Royal into one, should have satisfied managements'lust to become number two in The Great White North. Unfortunately, this was not the case and now a number of quality people, talented people, dedicated people, are without work.
Been there. Done that.
No. I suggest the laurels are unwaranted here, for it was the staff, moreso than management, that made this company what it was.
...and there, but for the Grace of God, go you and I.
Good Luck and Best Wishes to all at Canada 3000. There will be a tomorrow.
