Judge Halts Retailer’s Bid for Former Hudson’s Bay Space at Yorkdale

Judge blocks department store from moving into former HBC space at Yorkdale mall. A proposed plan to open a new retailer in the former Hudson’s Bay space at Yorkdale Shopping Centre has been stopped by an Ontario judge. The decision blocks a deal that would have transferred the large anchor location to a discount-focused department store operator. The court found that the arrangement did not meet the standards required for such a major tenancy change, supporting Yorkdale’s position that the retailer was not an appropriate fit for the mall’s upscale environment. The ruling ends months of dispute over the future of the vacant three-level space and underscores the challenges malls face as they try to repurpose former department store footprints. Yorkdale, known for its luxury brands and high-end positioning, is now expected to pursue alternatives that better align with its long‑term strategy.

Your daily horoscope: August 29, 2024

 

HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Identify what your highest ambition is going to be and then go after it with every ounce of physical, mental and emotional energy you possess. The influence of Pluto on your birthday guarantees that your efforts will pay off like never before.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

As love planet Venus moves into your opposite sign today relationships won’t seem quite so tense as they have been of late. That does not, however, mean you can take your nearest and dearest for granted. Always take their feelings into consideration.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

If you have fallen out with someone on the work front in recent weeks, with maybe a few harsh words passing between you, now is the time to get past those bad feelings and get things back to how they were before. Be the first to say sorry.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

Keep telling yourself that your efforts will come good in the end and keep believing that the universe wants only good things for you, and your belief will make it a fact. Do what you can with what you have got – it will be more than enough.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

Try to be a bit more relaxed in your dealings with loved ones and relatives. Whatever may have been said and done in recent weeks it is now in the past and can and must be forgotten. What can you do jointly that will bring you closer together?

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

There seems to be a lot of drama in your life at the moment but how much of it is really necessary? Probably very little. Ignore what others may be saying about you and just do what makes you feel good. A positive attitude is a must.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

A strong link between values planet Venus and power planet Pluto will encourage you to patch up a partnership that should be profitable but which has been on the slide. You both have too much to lose to keep arguing for no good reason.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

As your ruling planet Venus moves into your birth sign today the better side of your nature will come to the fore and you will be far less concerned about petty disputes and petty people. A beaming smile will cure all ills – well, most of them anyway.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

Something you have been fearful about for quite some time needs to be confronted and as Venus moves into the most sensitive area of your chart today now is the time to face up to it. Seriously, what can it do to hurt you? Nothing at all.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

No matter what might be happening at the moment, either at home or at work, strive to remain upbeat and do what you can to help those around you feel better about life as well. Put on your happy face and greet the world with a smile.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

If an opportunity to improve your status on the work front comes your way today you must seize it with both hands, because it may no longer be there come the start of next week. It’s possible to be competitive and still be a nice guy as well.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

The entry of Venus into the most adventurous area of your chart will brighten your outlook and encourage you to believe that life does not have to be a constant struggle. If you are in the market for love, try looking outside your usual environment.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

Cosmic activity in the wealth area of your chart will encourage you to take a more laidback approach to money and investment activities. It may be true that cash is king but there is more to life than making a profit. What about love?
