People don't realize Hudson Bay closing is the beginning of Canada's end.

We couldn't even keep Zellers alive long enough and Walmart basically swept the land like a tsunami. There is nothing unique about Canada. Even hockey is dying and they know it.

Sad when the one of the oldest corporations in the world is closing down. Especially when they did Based shit like start shit with Louis Riel and the Metis and give the Injuns Firewater so they would be too drunk to raid White Settlements.

Tim's was always used for money laundering. That's why they fought debit for ages, and suddenly sold once it basically became law of the land.

As for HBC closing, I used to only see it in Pearson and it's been replaced by a chocolate store. HBC tried to be Target, but Canadians don't have Target money anymore. We have Walmart money, and even then we need to scrimp and save for that.

Not to mention that the HBC was decimated by Sears who started the catalog thing, which in turn was decimated by Amazon who started the online thing. If they were more proactive we'd be buying from them to this day.

HudsonBay could have approached the market change aggressively but like ALL CANADIAN STUFF they got too comfortable and took things for granted.
 
Company I skate for recently undercut there local manufacturer to have everything drop-shipped from China. The amount of "Blems" and warps in the trash are huge compared too the Canadian manufacturing place, yet "they still sell money"

With that, I just went direct too the manufacturer now. And I get discounts and options on "protos" if I choose now.

I just want a Canadian Maple deck, how hard is that these days.
 
While trawling for historical Canadian movies to watch i came across these ones that seem relevant:
Orders (1974 film) is a 1974 Quebec historical drama film about the incarceration of innocent civilians during the 1970 October Crisis following the War Measures Act enacted by the Canadian government of Pierre Trudeau.
The Decline of the American Empire follows a group of intellectual friends from the University of Montreal history department as they engage in a long dialogue about their sexual affairs, touching on issues of adultery, homosexuality, group sex, BDSM and prostitution. A number of characters associate self-indulgence with societal decline.

Speaking of the Decline of the American Empire, we could mention its sequel, The Barbarian Invasions showing one of the intellectual friends, who terminaly ill, and his relation with his son.

I developed something of an interest in retail history and the downfall of HBC was inevitable as far as I'm concerned and not unique to Canada. Case in point, former retail titans like Sears and K-Mart are dead in the United States while Macy's and JC Penney are on life support. Hell, the shopping mall is practically dead as a concept in the States. I went on a brief excursion to Great Falls last summer and the state of its mall is sad. The JC Penney as run down as you'd expect and the food court was shuttered. Much of this could be attributed to the ascension of Walmart and Target as standalone big box chains, leading to the death of smaller national and regional chains in the 2000s. Then the rise of Amazon was the final nail in the coffin.

Talking about it now makes me nostalgic for days when Woolco and Woodward's (a chain of department stores that existed in B.C. and Alberta until 1993) existed. Mostly because I was a kid back then and oblivious to the shittiness of the world.
 
I always found it funny how leftist Americans always just assume that because I am from Canada that I automatically despise Trump and anything to do with the right. There is no nuance, no middle ground, it's just the one assumption. And when you suggest that you are not pro fag/immigrant, or God forbid, not a rabid US hater, they are stunned and don't even know what to say.
Does anyone else ever get this when interacting with leftist Americans and Europeans?

I say this because I got into a heated argument with one person because they assumed that because of the whole tariff situation that I auto-hated Trump. When I joked that maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea if we were annexed, the person was utterly appalled and started explaining to me how I should feel/think.

Both political extremes cannot understand nuance because their entire worldview is black and white
 
China tariffs too eh?

Time to take Chinese stuff off the shelves. Walmarts like 80% made in China. Dollarama even more. That will show them.

Quite the move I have to admit. From the Chinese. From an evil genius type of perspective. As revenge for the EV tariffs.

I'd heard about the 380k groomer defamation award, but didn't realize it was the same faggot lawyers from the coerced Emo Pride flag case. I thought the blogger who got sued was several hundred kms east near Sault Ste Marie, but it was actually Thunder Bay, a lot closer to Emo relatively.

Douglas Judson (he/him) completed part of his law studies at Hebrew University in Jerusalem.

Imagine watching your decadent and inefficient steel & aluminium and non existent EV industry under threat by two superpowers because you can't be bothered to use diplomacy cuz globehomo ideology.

Damn.
 
Some guy named Jeffrey Rath in Alberta is organizing a delegation to Washington DC in order to pitch the idea of Alberta becoming the 51st State.

Its being floated by a bunch of obscure "Influencers" and I have no idea who Jeffrey Rath is. How serious is this?

Once again it's always literal E-Whores on the casting couch who become Conservative Influencers (paid for by Mr. Shekelberg)

Also Jeff Rath looks like Tim Walz. An utterly ineffective Cuck
