How do people feel about the sale of a piece of our history? Do you think its just another business and not to worry or do you think it should have remained under Canadian ownership? Will you stop shopping there?

I'm not sure Gypsy, I think the last time it was in the new, an american company acquired 51% of the shares and now the rest has been sold. I just read a little blurp about it online that said it sold on July 18th 2008. you might be right though. I will have to read a bit more about it. Its still a bummer though!

Will you stop shopping there? It makes no difference . Look at Wal Mart , it has better prices for me than Hudson Bay . It is only business and where I get a better deal I will join the crowd . It makes no difference at all . Many Canadian companies are owned by Americans .

If it was just another company I wouldn't care at all but its a piece of Canadian history so it kind of bugs me and I doubt I will be shopping there anymore!

It all comes to savings and no more else .

All canadian stores are being sold out. It all comes down to people making money selling. I shop whereever there is deals.
