Quebec is a good example of a "National state" within a country.

Dominated by Canada are resources.

Hand stretched Italian pasta?

I've been saying this for years, any of these Muslim restaurant chefs could have a simple authentic pasta restaurant. Green,White& red sign and decore, a few spices, cheese and bread and charge triple.

As for the items never being "on sale" Tiger Tiger has the proper concept, the brand doesn't want to be associated with discounts, it respects it's few "high end" customers.
Expanding this concept to the shopping mall level I suspect the shopping mall owns certain individual retail stores, therefore a specific "crown jewel" or "high end" retail store could afford to loose money. It's a small loss for the shopping mall owners to have this prestige store in it's hallway, embellishing it's status.
