  1. Good Morning #Canada
    The Severn River, #19 on our #CanadaRivers countdown, flows for 982 km, from Deer Lake near Kenora to Fort Severn on the shore of Hudson's Bay. It's the same length as the Albany River (next on our list) and both are the longest rivers entirely within Ontario. The Severn River drainage basin area is 102,800 km2 , a small portion of which is in Manitoba, and it has a modest volume of 645 m3/s as it meanders northeast. Historical records state that the mouth of the river was located by the English in 1631, but I'm pretty sure Indigenous people discovered it a few thousand years before that. Fort Severn was established as a trading post in 1689 by the Hudson's Bay Company but was captured by Pierre le Moyne, sieur d'Iberville in 1690. The post, rebuilt in 1759, has been in continuous operation to this day making this community one of the oldest European settlements in Ontario.

  8. * The intellectual property of the company has been sold to Canadian Tire.
    * Multiple institutional landlords, including the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, are currently warring over whether a (funnier, more campy) real estate billionaire should be able to take over the leases to many of the stores with currently nebulous business plans.
    * What remains of the company is yet another numbered company incorporated in BC, just like so many companies whose *current* business is colonial resource extraction.

  9. The fate of the Hudson's Bay Company is the most Canadian (derogatory) thing I've seen in a while, and I say that with no affection or nostalgia for the company itself:
    * It was bought out by some USAmerican billionaire and then transferred to a USAmerican private equity firm, before going public again, then once again going private.
    * Its decline went mostly unnoticed by the public until they filed for creditor protection.
    * In being shut down, workers at the stores got varying levels of screwed over.
    * The assets to be liquidated include a significant collection of Indigenous nations' belongings, which are currently being auctioned. (The Weston family, some of Canada's biggest grocery and retail monopolists, have bought one of the most historically significant ones, the HBC Charter… …to donate it to the Canadian Museum of History.)

    “The fact that a judge ruled there should be an auction immediately without transparency or consultation with First Nations, Métis, and Inuit leaders shows a lack of cultural sensitivity.”
