Hudson’s Bay Company is in deep trouble—sparking mixed emotions across #TurtleIsland. 🦫👀 Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC), established in 1670 and recognized as Canada’s oldest company, has announced plans to liquidate all but six stores starting today due to ongoing financial troubles. The retailer, which began during the fur trade, holds deep significance to Indigenous people due to its involvement in colonization—which caused major cultural and social disruption, and contributed to the emergence of the Métis Nation. For some, this marks the end of a colonial legacy; for others, it’s a profound loss. What are your thoughts on HBC’s closure? Are you celebrating or mourning? Share your perspective with us. 💭⤵️ (via indigenous_baddie, ziecollects, castanetmedia, cbc, angryindigenouswoman/fb, steph_eagletail) #HudsonsBay #HBC #FurTrade #Métis
