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.

Escalation in Gaza: Israeli Forces Advance in Khan Younis, 20 Killed

 

Israeli tanks advanced into the northern parts of Khan Younis in southern Gaza on Wednesday, leading to a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict. Palestinian medics reported that Israeli airstrikes resulted in the deaths of at least 20 people across the enclave.

The advance came a day after the Israeli military issued new evacuation orders, citing rocket launches from the area. The airstrikes targeted central Gaza, killing 11 people, including six children and one medic. Five of the victims were reportedly queuing outside a bakery. Additionally, nine Palestinians were killed by tank fire in Rafah, near the Egyptian border.

The situation in Gaza remains dire, with residents fleeing their homes amid the shelling. The humanitarian-designated area of Al-Mawasi has seen an influx of displaced families seeking safety. The conflict, which began after Hamas-led fighters attacked Israeli communities on October 7, 2023, has resulted in over 44,400 Palestinian deaths and widespread destruction.

The international community continues to call for a ceasefire, but the violence shows no signs of abating. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is worsening, with hospitals and aid workers struggling to cope with the influx of casualties and displaced persons.
