another piece dies.

Today we witness another strike to our Canadian heritage. The Hudson's Bay Company, the largest retail store in Canada, is, at the root, the reason why we as a nation exist. It was this company that founded our great country and explored its vast lands. Now it is no longer. It shall remain a name in textbooks to come but not for our children to see. It has been sold, like so many others before, to the U.S. and will likely be converted to countless Target stores. Although some would welcome more discount stores such as Target and Wal-mart, it is not without cost. Canadian heritage..sold to the highest bid...and no longer in the hands of Canadians. Though some would say "that it is the way things go," that is was "bound to happen", it does not curb the sharp pain of dissappiontment for the day that another piece of Canada died.
