But another cultural icon from canada becomes american..... sad to see HBC not owned by a Canadian

It was already American-owned. The previous owner was Jerry Zucker, so I don't see the big deal. --SVTCobra 22:43, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

It's not quite the fact that's American owned...it's the fact that these pieces of our culture, these Canadian icons, are going to be Americanized. Very sad...74.216.109.174 21:45, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Keep it Canadian
Instead of taking what is rightfully ours, they should use it as an ivestment, fix it up if they want, make it more valuable, and sell it back to a Canadian company for double or more than what they bought it for. That way, we as Canadians can keep it as our own, and they can make money out of it —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.54.27.187 (talk) 18:22, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
