Are you a Canadian who likes outdoor stuff? If so, you were probably surprised a few days ago when you heard that Mountain Equipment Co-op has been sold to an American company. Because hey, MEC is a co-op, and nobody asked the members. How is that even possible?
Apparently there is still time to block this transaction. If you want to save your co-op, this is the time to act. See https://savemec.ca for details.
In the space of a few days, the Save Our Co-op group has raised over $80,000. That money will fund a legal challenge that will aim to prevent the sale of MEC. So now the fight's on, and it's going to be really interesting to see what happens next.
