I can tell you it was never the grassroots "Sears" associates in Canada who advocated for cost cutting across the board, that fell squarely on the shoulders of Eddie and team out of the US... once he got a hold of the reins, it was cut, cut, cut, sell off, sell off, sell off, pocket the profits...... this failure has been 10 years in the making and Eddie won't be done until he tosses the dead husk of the body of this company to the side of the road.....
