It's interesting to note that the "arab brothers" have managed to put
more people into bankruptcy in this city than the rest of the hustlers
combined. When you "lease" space in WEM, you sign personal guarantees
that make sure you lose you house, car, wife (shuks!), kids (yeah!),
cat, job, retirement, UI benefits, etc. There is a thriving business
in Edmonton centered around moving people out of "the mall". It has
to be done during the weee hours of the morning, lest the mall security
types arrest you for breaking your lease.

I know of *one* person who managed to legally terminate his lease
with the "rug rats", and due to pressure from unknown persons, he
never received the balance owed to him on his insurance pre-payments
for his floor space.

But then again, they *do* have the safest roller coaster in the
country, don't they?
