The United States Department of Homeland Security says it wants to buy a building owned by the property arm of Vancouver-based conglomerate Jim Pattison Group to use as an Immigration and Customs Enforcement "processing facility."

This just happened in the past few hours... but now the story is at the top of the CBC page as well.

Hope this is enough pressure for Pattison to do the right things.

@chris did my non-Pattison shopping today ... for as long as it takes. Drove there (in my non-Pattison ZEV) when there's a store across the street from me.

@AndersonDawn we only have one grocery store in #PortAlberni (other than the Dollar stores and 7/11 types) that is not under Jimmy Pattison. No Frills is part of Loblaws.

@chris @AndersonDawn I wish we had a co-op grocery store!

@Albernicucumber @AndersonDawn maybe the City should move into the old Zellers! :) It used to be a food store too!
