I'm struggling not to be sarcastic here, as I'm not quite stoked about Canadian Tire owning most of what's left of Hudson's Bay Company. It's pretty undeniable proof that age and revenue will not make a company immortal or invulnerable though.
Hudson mismanagement was legendary. Their business expansion into the Netherlands was so terrible that it's almost as if they wanted to fail.
Sometimes I feel the same about Google when I see them burn goodwill time and time again.
Somehow they seem to have more despite not earning it for such a long time.
