As I said on another thread.. Does he not realize that Canada is one of the largest exporters to the US? What this means is that Americans will be paying double for alot of things including oil and gas which is heavily imported from Canada. Ah well, here's to hoping we don't increase our...

Does he not realize that Canada is one of the largest exporters to the US? What this means is that Americans will be paying double for alot of things including oil and gas which is heavily imported from Canada. Ah well, here's to hoping we don't increase our tariff rate to match. If we don't...

Any reformed Hudson Bay SHOULD NOT be run by dealers and franchisees. I'm sorry but that model would kill Hudson Bay. This isn't a hardware store where you stock merchandise suiting the local area. They need a set, corporate owned and run format if they are to survive. Anything less than that...

All joking aside, I don't see Canadian Tire selling Mikasa Crystal, Miele appliances, Zwilling pots/pans, etc. Likewise, Hudson Bay got out of the automotive sector decades ago. They are no longer selling Hudson Bay Oil, Alcohol, or Hardware supplies. I don't think any reformed Bay would sell...

Can the stores carry more merchandise without suspending it from the ceiling?

Meh. All good, just as long as they give me a pillow and blanket.

Fire Code requirements did change on January 1st so it stands to reason they put this there for that purpose. The only thing I can think of is that the FDC was originally there in that location. It is also easier to leave it in place than it is to relocate it, especially for something temporary.

Agreed. This entrance was likely a fire code requirement given that the main Queen Street entrance has restricted access. They were probably required to put it in while the Queen Street entrance is so close to the Ontario Line construction site. For a mall of that size, they need to meet...

He could have but that would have been considered an invasion. I don't think invading foreign countries and occupying them is going to go over well.

Agreed but they are removing alot of water features in their malls. The Fountain at Fairview, the River at Markville are both gone after renovations.

You can't change it too much otherwise nobody will go. Sears tried to rebrand Eatons and it failed miserably, they closed up permanently a year or so later. What they need to do is reopen full on Bay stores, called the Bay not the Hudsons Bay (like it was after a minor rebranding). Make it...

Just a thought. If the US is demanding they be given Greenland, can Canada demand they be given Alaska for continuity?

This I can agree with. Canada needs to stop relying on the US for everything. Before them, it was the British Empire that they thought would come to their rescue. We need to stop coddling people, build up our armed forces and make our trade deals without US support. If the US does not like...

The GOP are beholden to special interest groups. If their pocket books get hit or their backers are affected you can bet your ass they will dump him faster than you can say impeachment. Talk is cheap but once it affects them personally, watch how quick things change.

I don't agree with Orban and I am actually voting for the Tisza Party in the upcoming election.
