A key hearing with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice was held on Monday, March 17 regarding the future of the Hudson's Bay Company.However, the judge presiding over the creditor protection and restructuring case did not make a decision over triggering the liquidation, instead opting for more time to process the information presented by the retailer, creditors, landlords and other stakeholders.At the time of writing, no decision by the court has been made, but it could come quickly at any time, perhaps later this week.Hudson's Bay has been unable to pay leases, vendors and loan obligations, and is just days away from missing payroll.Liquidation has been identified as the only major way for the company to secure the interim financing it needs, with the company potentially closing at least half of its 80 department stores. A full closure of all locations is also possible.Monday's meeting was the first since Hudson's Bay submitted its federal Companies' Creditors Arrangeme...

21 h. ago ESPN host fires baffling shot at Toronto Raptors and their fanbase

The Toronto Raptors found themselves in the middle of an odd discussion on a recent ESPN show put out this week.On Monday's episode of The Hoop Collective podcast hosted by Brian Windhorst, Tim Bontemps, and Tim MacMahon, the trio was discussing Tony Allen's jersey retirement over the weekend with the Memphis Grizzlies.Allen, who played for the Grizzlies from 2010 to 2017, was the centrepiece of the "Grit and Grind" era in Memphis in which the team was lauded for its strong defensive play and hustle all over the court.And when praising the Grizzlies' connection to their fanbase, MacMahon offered a strange opinion as to where it relates to the Toronto Raptors."They didn't get to the finals, they obviously didn't win a championship, but they were a very good team for a long time that epitomized the culture of the city they're in," MacMahon said. "I think you could almost even make the argument that the 'Grit and Grind' Grizzlies are more beloved in Memphis than the Toronto Raptors tit...

23 h. ago Tariff uncertainty is affecting Canadian real estate and Ontario is hardest hit

While spring is typically the busiest time of the year to buy a home as more properties become available and competition increases, the housing market this season appears to be in a bit of a decline in Canada —and especially in Ontario — amid the ongoing trade war with the United States. According to a new report from the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), home sales in the country fell sharply from January to February, as many prospective home buyers chose to remain on the sidelines due to the threat of U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs. Sales activity recorded over Canadian MLS Systems dropped 9.8 per cent month over month in February, marking the lowest level for home sales since November 2023, and the largest month-over-month decline in activity since May 2022. "The moment tariffs were first announced on January 20, a gap opened between home sales recorded this year and last.
