• Reuters reports that Walmart's Canadian business "is offering discounts on more than 10,000 products starting Friday, aiming to build sale momentum and market share ahead of its aggressive expansion and next year's arrival of Target Corp."

According to the story, the discounts will be on apparel, electronics, health and wellness products, hardware and home merchandise, as well as on about 3,000 grocery-store items from dry goods to fresh produce. Walmart said the program will run through July.
