Hudson’s Bay Company Is Officially Dead

[JuliusSqueezer]

Once Canada’s de facto government and, after 355 years of operation, HBC is dead - the remanence of which are now owned by Canadian Tire Corp. and some billionaire chink.

Our country is dying.

Same difference.

Frankly most retail locations deserve to die. I try and support local and most “local” places either tell me they don’t have what I’m looking for (even some of the most benign simple shit) or here is the kicker, “you can order it online”. Then there’s the places who perhaps have what I’m looking for but look at me like I’m an inconvenience in their store.

Well if I’m an inconvenience or told to go order online, I’m gonna order from the cheaper place online whoever they may be cos I just wasted fuel and time to “support local”.

For two damn years, those assholes said I wasn’t welcome without a fucking mask. Fuck them. Only place that wasn’t totally brain-dead was Superstore—they’d occasionally play over the speakers to respect people who can’t wear masks.

The Bay was stupid, they didn't adapt to the times (I mean you can't sell Bay shit online?) and now that Crappy Tire has bought the best bits this gook wants the corpse. It's sad but it was a long time coming, they should have stuck to furs.

TheBay had good deals on many items considering their sale prices IMO but Canadian urbanites prefer to wear bedsheets in public.

 

[Dwide_schrude]

Too expensive. I just buy clothes from the thrift store, or old navy when they have sales.

 

[TOPDAWG]

Sears had decent stuff before they went under. Prices weren’t crazy, and the quality was at least ok. No more affordable cloths stores in Canada left.

 

[HuntStevenson]

There's no middle class and Canadian immigration means bed sheets are the new urban fashion statement.

The bay should have sold Saris and Turbans.

@HuntStevenson Costco is selling a men’s kurta online.

Back in the aughties, I interviewed with HBC for a professional role and later had the opportunity to work with them in a "business to business" capacity as a service provider to them, and they were not good to work with. In both cases, it had a real government-y feel - no sense of urgency, no sense of 'hunger', just lazy, apathetic and 'what have you done for me lately'. Not surprised at all by this.

Chinadian tire. Fuck em, i refuse to shop there after they assulted someone for not wearing a mask.
