MP Angus calls for Amazon boycott after company closes seven Quebec warehouses

New Democrat MP Charlie Angus is urging a national boycott of Amazon following the closure of seven warehouses in Quebec, which resulted in thousands of job losses.
Amazon's closures have affected around 230 unionized employees in Laval, with Angus asserting the company should provide proper severance pay.
Angus and union officials urge the federal government to cancel contracts with Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and demand repayment of federal subsidies.
Amazon has dismissed claims that the warehouse closures are linked to the unionization efforts, stating that the closures aim to enhance efficiency.
