Nothing more Canadian than a foreign national buying up Canadian brands and pretending they are Canadian.
Bonus points for trying to use Canadian pride in a time of turmoil to secure the purchase.
I’ll take Chinese over American, which is what the Bay currently is
I’ll take Canadian or no store thanks.
But then how am I supposed to get into the mall?
Always the most parking.
By not supporting dictatorships.
This isn’t something new for HBC. From what I can see, they’ve has been foreign owned since at least 2006 and have claimed Canadianism hard for the last couple decades.
I never said it was new, and you can show the class what you are seeing if you wish to use it as evidence to support your assertion.
You phrased things in a way that can easily be read to infer that this was new for HBC, and you fucking well know it. There’s absolutely no reason to be a smug prick about it.
LOL
From what I read, she moved to Canada more than 10 years ago.
I guess you didn’t read the part immediately following the headline that doesn’t include “Permanent Resident” “Chinese-Canadian Dual citizen” or “Canadian Citizen”.
Probably means you didn’t read the first paragraph where she immediately separates herself from Canadians, and thus her time living here meaningless in the conversation, because she still clearly sees herself as “Not a Canadian”.
Actually, I read several more articles about her before I posted that, because I wanted to find out more. She moved to Canada in 2014, she is apparently a PR, and she seems to love Canada. Maybe you should check your xenophobia and read more before you post something.

The crutch of the person without an argument and an opinion article presented as fact. If she truly wanted to be Canadian she can easily be a citizen. Especially as a Billionaire business owner.
Maybe you should stop acting like the opinion is xenophobic when I will say the same thing about any rich foreign cunt buying up Canadian business’ while pretending to be “Canadian” and never becoming a citizen.
Take care.
This isn’t a debate, and you’re clearly here just to be a pain in the ass. Why don’t you find something better to do with your time?
Then stop trying and failing to debate me.
You know, people who aren’t very bright can usually easily make up for that by just being diligent, such as by reading a bit more before posting. People who aren’t very bright and who are committed to ignorance because it confirms their ideological biases have a much harder time figuring things out. I see that’s where you’re at, so you’re not worth interacting with further. Hopefully you overcome that hurdle some day.
Good day.
Man I wish I had farts that smelled as good as yours.
Anyone taking bets on how long it will take for it to get enshittified faster than Tim Hortons?
How can you enshittify the Bay? I guess closing them will technically enshittify most malls as it’ll remove at least one entrance/exit to the parking lot.
Have you set foot in one in the last two decades? They did enshittify it already, not only could you not find anyone to answer any of your questions about the merchandise, you could barely find someone to staff the register without crossing the entire floor because HR was running the staff levels at 50% capacity or less of what was seen in the 90’s.
I guess I didn’t make my point clear enough. At this point it’s about as neutral as an empty space, the only way to make it worse is for it to make the mall worse, like having an entrance closed (or if we want to get silly, like having the employees squirt you with water guns while you’re walking past to get to the food court).
I mean, the answer for that would be a negative number. There’s a reason why it went under.
That feels like a suckers bet. haha
