The filings show the company owes $950 million to 26 pages' worth of listed creditors: landlords, suppliers and other partners, including fashion heavyweights Ralph Lauren, Chanel, Columbia Sportswear, Diesel and Estee Lauder.

Jennifer Bewley, the chief financial officer for Hudson's Bay's parent company, said in a court filing made on March 7 that the business had to defer certain payments to such companies for many months because it was having so much trouble making payments to landlords, service providers and vendors.

The situation was so severe that she said a landlord "unlawfully locked" Hudson's Bay out of a store located in Sydney, N.S., and a team of bailiffs attempted to seize merchandise from another location it runs in Sherway Gardens, a suburban Toronto mall.

Studies have shown that participation in school food programs increases students’ attendance and academic performance. It improves students’ mental and physical health, and has even been shown to increase lifetime earnings compared to those who don’t participate in such a program.

“This is probably one of the most important things that we can do for a whole generation,” says Debbie Field, national co-ordinator for the Coalition for Healthy School Food, a non-profit organization. “We know that those countries who have invested in universal school food programs show outcomes at the educational and health level that are fabulous.”

The Canadian military leadership is close to their U.S. counterparts and is reluctant to shift its focus from America. Some retired Canadian Forces senior officers, such as former chief of the defence staff Gen. Rick Hillier, have voiced support for a Canada that is integrated more closely with the U.S. On Feb. 15, Hillier went on the social media website X to express his support for Canadian businessman Kevin O'Leary's proposal for a common dollar, integrated border and immigration requirements with the U.S.

But retired Vice Admiral Mark Norman has warned that Canada is under attack from the Americans.

Norman argued in a Feb. 14 National Post column that Canada should not sit back and let the U.S. destroy the country. "This may need to include otherwise previously unthinkable actions such as shutting off our oil and gas, electrical power and critical supplies, as well as the abandonment of historic diplomatic and military relationships and commitments," Norman pointed out.

Félix Trudeau, member of Workers' Alliance and president of the STTAL--CSN, the first Amazon union in Canada, spoke to The North Star outside an Intelcom warehouse in the Saint-Laurent neighbourhood of Montreal.

"We came here to take action to denounce Amazon's subcontracting of jobs to Intelcom, to other subcontractors like it. It's a scam aimed at continuing the exploitation of workers in Quebec," he explained. Workers' Alliance is calling for sanctions against Amazon, compensation for laid-off workers, and for the Quebec parliament to pass a special law to seize assets and ban the multinational's activities from its territory.

We cannot overlook the likelihood that these Palestinian solidarity encampments were labelled security threats because of the relentless pressures on university administrators exerted by Zionist politicians and pro-Zionist government officials to characterize any criticism of Israel as threatening to the "safety" of Jewish students and faculty. Such pressures have been well-documented in the cases of the Universities of Alberta and Calgary, and are exhibited in many of the submissions to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights' investigation of "antisemitism" on Canadian campuses (May 2024). Notably, the committee's December 2024 report recommended, among other measures, that universities adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism which encompasses anti-Zionism or criticism of the state of Israel.
