RE:RE:Jockeying for Position - Metro's takeover of Jean Coutu

Sunny, I believe Metro Inc., which is the company that bought Jean Coutu, is not affiliated or connected with Metro Group in Germany. Metro Inc.'s roots go back to 1947 when it was founded in Quebec. Metro is the third largest grocer in Canada after Loblaws and Sobeys, but I don't see any corporate connection between them and the German retailer called Metro Group other than they both share the name "Metro".
