Nah, sorry it was sold out to an investment firm. It needs to crash and burn. Harsh truth

Dominion Review is a Canadian publication providing novel and dissenting perspectives on issues that matter to our country.

Oh.

And look at that, the site's editor has been published in...

-The Epoch Times (19 times!)

-The Financial Post (4 times)

-The Vancouver Sun (twice)

-The Western Standard

And other publications that I'm sure are highly esteemed and worth our time.

They previously had an article posted here complaining that Poilievre wasn't racist enough.

They could have pivoted and gone to e-commerce, but no, they stuck with the department store model, despite everyone else failing at it. Evolve or die.

Someone will buy the name and it'll "have a comeback", but the real deal is dead. Sad, yes. Worth saving? No.

I'd rather the Eaton's name make a comeback than The Bay. A lot of the history that HBC is associated with isn't exactly positive.

History, is just that, History. It's neither good nor bad.

Nope. Snotty, expensive and barely worth shopping at when there was a major sale. It lasted twice as long as the East India Company (more or less) and will be remembered in history books, to which I am glad to see it consigned.

Let it liquidate; just buy the name at auction and start over better

@rxbudian@lemmy.ca And that fantastic coat of arms they have.
