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.

South Korean Parliament Impeaches President Yoon Over Martial Law Decree

 

In a historic move, South Korea's parliament voted to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol following his controversial martial law decree on December 3rd. The National Assembly passed the motion with a significant majority, 204-85. This decision came after Yoon's short-lived martial law order, which lasted only six hours before being unanimously overturned by parliament.

The impeachment motion was driven by allegations of rebellion and a violation of the constitution, as Yoon's decree was seen as an attempt to undermine democratic processes. Prime Minister Han Duck-soo will assume presidential duties while the Constitutional Court reviews the impeachment, a process that could take up to 180 days.

The impeachment has sparked widespread public reaction, with jubilant crowds celebrating outside the National Assembly. President Yoon, in a statement, vowed to continue serving the country despite the temporary suspension of his powers.
