Hudson's Bay Company has signalled its readiness to take the next major step in its creditor protection and restructuring process, a move that will significantly reshape Canada's commercial retail real estate market and result in major job losses.In an announcement on Friday night, the Canadian department store retailer announced a "store-by-store liquidation process" will begin as soon as this week.On Friday, March 14, 2025, the company filed additional documents with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice indicating that it has only secured limited debtor-in-possession financing, which now necessitates the "full liquidation of the entire business.""Assuming receipt of a Court order on Monday at the 'comeback motion,' store liquidations will begin next week," reads the news release last Friday.According to the latest court documents, Hudson's Bay intends to conclude its liquidation process by no later than June 15, 2025, at which point its store locations would also close.During the...

8 d. ago Toronto's troubled megatower is about to become Canada's tallest building

Sprouting from Toronto's Yonge and Bloor intersection, the enormous new tower known as The One is pretty impossible to miss — both through its visual prominence and its saga of construction setbacks along with disastrous financial and legal challenges.Despite all its trials and tribulations, the soaring skyscraper known as The One is about to claim the title of Canada's tallest building.However, this distinction will be short-lived, and The One will reign as the country's tallest building for just a few months before another huge skyscraper snatches away the crown.The 85-storey tower is now just a few levels shy of its peak and on the cusp of overtaking the country's longstanding tallest building, First Canadian Place, as the country's new tallest within a matter of weeks.The One now rises roughly 80 storeys into the Toronto skyline, and its design from U.K.-based architects Foster + Partners working with local talent Core Architects has already become a ne...

2 w. ago Elon Musk's daughter speaks out about idea that Canada become 51st state

The estranged daughter of Elon Musk is clapping back at her dad and U.S. President Donald Trump's administration for its "Canada as the 51st state" threats.Vivian Jenna Wilson is one of the children Musk had with his first wife, Canadian author Justine Wilson.As the convicted felon-turned-president continues to push what even some American citizens are calling "ridiculous rhetoric" of Canada becoming the 51st state, Canadians’ animosity towards members of Trump's administration grows ever stronger.Musk has felt the brunt of the hatred, with hundreds of thousands of Canadians signing a parliamentary e-petition calling for his Canadian citizenship to be revoked.The petition accuses Tesla's CEO and now senior advisor to Trump of "engaging in activities that go against the national interest of Canada."Elon Musk says Canada isn't real in response to demands his citizenship be revokedhttps://t.co/b5rQ5OHWKa— blogTO (@blogTO) February 25, 2025It cl...

2 w. ago Elon Musk says 'Canada is not a real country' but used to work as a lumberjack here

Hundreds of thousands of Canadians have signed a petition to revoke the citizenship of Elon Musk, who holds dual citizenship in the U.S. and Canada. And, he appears to be a little upset about the idea."Canada is not a real country," the senior advisor to U.S. President Donald Trump and tech billionaire said on X. The post was deleted soon after.Those are bold words for someone who has kids with three Canadian women, has a Canadian mother, and lived in Canada.But few people know that before he became an internationally known edge lord, Musk worked as a lumberjack in this very "not real" country.According to the book Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future, Musk left his South Africa home at just 17 to move to Canada, where he lived and worked on his cousin's farm in Waldeck, Saskatchewan.He also became a Canadian citizen, as his mother, Maye Musk, was born in Regina. Musk's grandmother was from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.In May 2...

Elon Musk is lashing out at Canada in response to a petition to revoke his Canadian citizenship.On February 20th, Nanaimo, B.C. author Qualia Reed (Shadows of Athelon) started the parliamentary e-petition, arguing that Musk "has engaged in activities that go against the national interest of Canada," including using "his wealth and power to influence our elections" and becoming a member of "a foreign government that is attempting to erase Canadian sovereignty."The petition ultimately asks that the South African-born Musk, who has Canadian citizenship through his Regina native mother Maye, be stripped of said citizenship. At the time of writing, the petition has accumulated nearly 250,000 signatures.On his X (Twitter) platform, Musk responded to a post about the petition, stating that "Canada is not a real country." Musk has now deleted the post.Musk's since-deleted post saying "Canada is not a real country."It should be noted that the post that Musk...

3 w. ago Toronto seeing most new home listings in Canada but hardly anyone is buying

Predictions that Toronto's housing market would see a triumphant return of the enthusiasm and heat it's historically known for have fallen flat thus far, with sales continuing to dwindle far below hopes and expectations, and new listings continuing to pour onto the market.Nearly 20,000 homes are now up for sale within the GTA, per the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB)'s numbers for January, marking a worrying 48.6 per cent uptick in new listings and 70.2 per cent increase in active listings compared to this time last year.The number of sales transactions, meanwhile, has fallen 7.9 per cent over the same time frame, disheartening realtors and sellers who were expecting a bounceback after an abysmal 2024.RBC economists really put these numbers into perspective in a new special housing report that this month compared how the real estate scenes in major cities across Canada are faring.One graph shows Toronto to have the third-biggest year-over...
