The Bay, Hudson’s Bay Company
成立于1670年5月2日的Hudson’s Bay Company(简称HBC, The Bay, 或La Baie)是北美最古老的一间商业公司,也是全世界最古老的老字号之一。现今加拿大1/3的领土在1670年都归属于这家公司,最初是代表英国殖民者以日用品向原住民交换动物皮毛发家,后来毛皮交易凋零,成功转型零售业。
游客在加拿大旅游,很容易便能发现一间The Bay(或法语La Baie)百货公司,尤其是多伦多市中心的店里面销售着琳琅满目的奢侈品。不过,多伦多市中心The Bay销售商品的档次提升也是最近的事情,目前是以中高档的品牌为主。The Bay也是负责加拿大奥林匹克运动员队服的公司,所以大家能在这里买到加拿大队的各种奥林匹克商品。
Hudson’s Bay近年来也积极向国外扩张,收购了美国高档百货公司Saks Fifth Avenue和Lord & Taylor,并在荷兰开店,包括以Hudson’s Bay和Saks Fifth Avenue为名的多家百货公司。

State Funeral for Jack Layton Held in Toronto
加拿大新民主党党魁Jack Layton率领新民主党在大选中取得辉煌战绩(37席增至103席),多年来首次成为反对党。但他自己却不敌病魔过世。
Jack Layton深受加拿大人民爱戴,所以在人民的要求下,加拿大总理(保守党)同意安排Jack Layton举行国葬仪式(一般只对首相和总督适用)。多伦多市也将一条街道命名为Jack Layton Way。多伦多中央岛渡轮码头也被更名为Jack Layton码头。
Jack Layton的妻子国会议员邹至蕙是来自香港的新移民,曾经长期担任多伦多市议员,深得市民爱戴,连续7年当选《Now》杂志市民最爱的市议员。她当选加拿大国会议员后,于2007年提案要求日本对二战慰安妇道歉,在加拿大国会表决获得一致通过。
“My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.”— Jack Layton
