    HBC is Hudson’s Bay Company. Not the government.

    Target has for the last 15 years or so owned a controlling share of the company hence the high degree of cooperation.

      Ahhh makes sense. Also makes sense how they’d understand the realities of logistics there to a much greater degree than Target. Here’s hoping their influence helps.

        Oh it didn’t because it was ignored. Target’s expansion into Canada failed roughly 8 months after they launched, mainly on a complete logistical failure and that they tried to charge us more than the exchange rate suggested.
