Target announced Thursday that it will be closing all 133 of its Canadian locations, leaving 17,000 employees jobless. Analysts and shoppers alike aren't surprised, pegging empty shelves and high prices as key reasons for Target Canada's collapse.

In the London Free Press, marketing professor Kersi Antia says Target was overly aggressive and missed the mark on the Canadian market.
