Canada's Hudson Bay Company moves a step closer to auctioning off its artifacts
by editors@theworld.org (Carol Hills ) from The World: Latest Stories on (#6XBB0)
An Ontario court has ruled that the iconic Hudson's Bay Company can move forward with an auction of 4,400 items as it liquidates its assets and shuts its doors forever. Many of the items going on the auction block are historical and cultural artifacts from the company's 355-year history. Carolyn Beeler speaks with Cody Groat, a professor of history and Indigenous studies at Western University in Ontario, about the history of Hudson Bay's Company, and the efforts to stop the auction.
