Target: The Bay

I'm not a strong Canadian nationalist by any means. And, as a philosopher of history, I understand that history is essentially a flow of changes. But, something pains me about the news that US Target stores are in advanced talks to acquire some or all of The Hudson's Bay Company, a retailer with a 300-year history in Canada. G&M story here: U.S. giant seeks to buy The Bay. What I mean: "The sale of HBC would leave Canada's oldest company in foreign hands . . ."
