Your daily horoscope: February 25, 2026

  IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY What is your next big goal going to be? No doubt you have a few ideas but as mind planet Mercury turns retrograde on your birthday maybe you should stick with an old goal that for some reason you never quite reached. It still has massive potential. ARIES (March 21 - April 20): You may believe that you have thought of everything but could there be something important you have overlooked? Mercury’s retrograde phase begins today, which means you must check every last detail. Some things may not be what they seem.

Hudson’s Bay Liquidation Marks End of an Era, Thousands of Jobs at Stake

 

Hudson’s Bay, Canada’s oldest retail company, is set to liquidate the majority of its stores, leaving thousands of employees facing layoffs. The company, which has been a cornerstone of Canadian retail for over 350 years, recently filed for creditor protection due to financial challenges, including reduced consumer spending and post-pandemic downtown traffic.

Starting today, liquidation sales will begin at all but six Hudson’s Bay locations across the country. The six stores spared include flagship locations in Toronto and Montreal, among others. However, the company has warned that these stores could also face closure if a restructuring solution is not found quickly.

The liquidation process is expected to impact over 9,000 employees directly, with additional effects on contractors and brand shop-in-shop staff. Many employees, some with decades of service, are grappling with the emotional and financial toll of the closures.

The liquidation sales are set to run until June 15, with stores vacated by June 30. Gift cards will be accepted until April 6, but loyalty points can no longer be redeemed.

This development marks a significant shift in Canada’s retail landscape, as Hudson’s Bay has been a symbol of heritage and commerce for centuries. The company’s iconic striped products and historic point blankets have become collector’s items amid the closures.
