Amazon Canada says it will close all seven of its Quebec warehouses and lay off staff over the next two months.

The e-commerce giant positioned the move scuttling 1,700 permanent jobs and 250 temporary ones as a way to provide “even more savings to our customers over the long run” and dismissed concerns that it was linked to a recent unionization push in the province.
