Something that is utterly missing from this video is the 1869 purchase of the Hudson Bay Company lands by the Dominion of Canada. This is how Canada acquired western lands, and why HBC no longer controls a huge swath of North America. In the 1869 deal, HBC was paid 100,000 pounds sterling for the land, and kept ownership of one square mile around all of its trading posts plus a percentage of the fertile farmland. When the railways were built in later years, these lands became very valuable, and were sold by the HBC for a considerable profit.
The ending was rushed and fuzzy. Should have talked about how The Bay rebranded to look like its old classic self and went back to "Hudson's Bay". And how they bought Saks fifth Avenue because some people I talked to thought it was Saks that bought HBC not the other way around.
Jason With Teslas that’s because this is what build North America especially America yet, people of colour of America act like their ancestors actually build North America...
I had never heard of HBC, until last year when they announced to come to the Netherlands. This happened shortly after the closing of a large warehouse named V&D in the Netherlands. They are now opening new stores in the old V&D buildings. But I have to see of the HBC is successful in the Netherlands. There are already rumours of investors that are not happy with the new stores in the Netherlands.
+Marijn You have "they" and "there" mixed up. "...there [they] announced to come to the Netherlands." "There [They] are now opening new stores..." "They [There] are already rumours..."
KillMeWithPotato so what if it's dead, Google will be dead one day but that doesn't mean they didn't help us humans take longer leaps. It's part of history.
This is by far your most polished, quality video yet. The picture effects are just amazing. keep on doing what ya doing! Your so close to 200K subs as well! congrats!
HBC completely rebranded themselves in 2010 getting away from trying to compete with lowrent brands like Walmart and went back to what they always did best: selling high quality goods for reasonable prices and they're thriving now.
This is definitely your best video yet, the editing is sooooooooo smooth!! The parallax effects makes it a lot more interesting to watch, especially for a fellow video editor!!
ending was completely rushed over. The Hudsons bay now is thriving, probably one of the most popular retail stores in Canada. They sell a lot of the best brands
Wow, each video it's awesome to see your editing skills get better. Always fascinating to learn about the start and rise of these large businesses. Keep em comming ha!
There's a couple of mistakes with this. Radisson did not get his furs confiscated. There was a fine and then he had to pay taxes on it, which him and de grosseliers (his brother In law) did not want to do. So they escaped hidden in a band of first Nations and then escaped to Boston to sell the furs. You should read his journal. Which is his first hand account on what happened. Its quite cool. Btw I really like the fact you used some paintings from the people who actually lived through the fur trade. Really good video.
Hi Simar, great comment. You might enjoy a book called "Caesars of the wilderness" by Grace Lee Nute. Our Family sees Medard Chouart Sieur Des Groseilliers as the lead on this in history. Yes, Pierre Esprit Radisson was Medard's brother in-law. K. A. Gervais
I really did like this channel! The past week I’ve been bingeing on videos of a new business I had never thought of having a great history. Knowing the history of HBC quite well has made me second guess if all the other videos are as lazy and rushed.
The Hudson Bay is the Gate to the North-West-Passage, sometimes blocked by ice on the Sea. But the ice could be under-rounded by trade submarines like for example the Typhoon Class (the Antonow of the submarines), much bigger than each airplane could be and dive under ice-layors of a few hundred metres making a dream of humanity real. Many truck loadings could be loaded there on, not as on a Triple-E, but many, as on river-transport boats (Danubia, Rhine etc.) The economy-geografics are to find the best and most efficiant route for that purpose.
HBC still sets the North American fur prices as a mercantile exchange, something that even the powerful Walmart cannot do ... but the Canada it helped to create (due to the global warming) is much less in need of furs of any kind.
My wife worked in HBC sales. She told me HBC also get very cheap junk from China. When employees unload trucks - they have skin rush because all of the goods are very dirty and covered with factory dust.
3:15 that's Andrew Jackson (an American not French). The painting is by Edward Percy Moran and it shows the battle of New Orleans (January 8, 1815). Also the French flag in this pic is just a Ameircan one in the original. Other than that, great vid
I have mixed feelings about this video. On one hand, I'm glad to see a channel I enjoy tackle a subject that I care a lot about. On the other, while the broad strokes are largely correct, a lot of the details are not. Also, please don't call us halfbreeds. While historically correct, that term has long-since fallen into disuse since a) few "halfbreeds" are 50/50; b) breed has an animalistic connotation; and c) it implies that we are somehow incomplete as a people.
I agree too, like how does someone fuck up so badly on a video involving the First Nations they didn't even use the word Métis to describe a "half breed"?? This dumbass clearly did no research.
3:16 Isn’t that a painting depicting Andrew Jackson fighting the British in New Orleans in the war of 1812? The American flag was made a French flag, and the painting has nothing to do with the French 😂
As usual, you forgot to mention the separation of HBC from its 'Northern Stores' into a full fledged different corporate entity circa 1989ish. The fur action houses were sold off in the 5 years+ previous to this event, however in Montreal via "How Its Made" the HBC still has an equivalent of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange BUT FOR FURS ONLY! Ommited or Notable : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_North_West_Company www.northwest.ca/operations/canada.php www.northmart.ca/ I don't quite see Walmart killing off HBC, but the upcoming poleshift might ...
Congratulations on narrating videos in English. Had I your accent, I would never have thought of doing that. 6:58 Amazon Canada has not planned to open retail stores.
This is clearly an American view at the end. The great recession of 2008 wasn't a thing in Canada. Hudson's Bay is the oldest company in Canada and it won't be shut down.
hbc used to offer rifles for furs to the natives. They told them that a stack of furs needs to be as high as 1 rifle to get the rifle. I learned most of that in my history class in school, which was on a reservation. I don't really care if hbc goes out of business really, not for the history, but they sell overpriced everything.

Agreed. Very rushed, less in depth.
CAN U SHUT UP
In Canada every one learns all about the Hudson's Bay and the fur trade in history class. Especially in Winnipeg we learn even more
Jason With Teslas
No in winnipeg we lean about old hbc not the new hbc
Jason With Teslas that’s because this is what build North America especially America yet, people of colour of America act like their ancestors actually build North America...
I played victoria 3 game. I noticed companies hold some major lands in canada, australia and india. This is very learning experience in history.
I had never heard of HBC, until last year when they announced to come to the Netherlands. This happened shortly after the closing of a large warehouse named V&D in the Netherlands. They are now opening new stores in the old V&D buildings. But I have to see of the HBC is successful in the Netherlands.

Marijn Hannink I originally saw a map of Canada in the early 1800s and saw the HBC
+Marijn You have "they" and "there" mixed up. "...there [they] announced to come to the Netherlands." "There [They] are now opening new stores..." "They [There] are already rumours..."
stop saying Netherlands ffs
Do east india company next
Orange Boy yes
It's dead lmao.
KillMeWithPotato so what if it's dead, Google will be dead one day but that doesn't mean they didn't help us humans take longer leaps. It's part of history.
That or the south sea trading company
deaththekid416 extra history did that

I'm surprised you didn't mention the undervalued wealth the company has in all of its real-estate holdings.
Canadian Busisnes being featured, I love it, black berry, hudsons bay, next you should do Tim Hortons
I like how he puts a picture of the battle of New Orleans and replaces the flag flying over the battle with a French instead of American.
Great editing, one can see that you put a lot of love and effort into your videos! Gute arbeit
This is definitely your best video yet, the editing is sooooooooo smooth!! The parallax effects makes it a lot more interesting to watch, especially for a fellow video editor!!
i don't know what hudson's bay is or why i need to know but this video makes me glad i know this information
-watches the video
-still isn't sure what the video is about
You really make this guys look good, you forgot to mention the violence used in pretty much every phase of your story.
ending was completely rushed over. The Hudsons bay now is thriving, probably one of the most popular retail stores in Canada. They sell a lot of the best brands
Matthew Lekoutovich
Thriving ?no no HBC is in trouble like Sears is now. I live in Toronto it all over the news
LAMOND HAUGHTON yah I’m wrong my bad
sixtopia
I live in the greater Toronto area, and I haven't shopped at the Bay in years.

Amazing video, as always! Maybe you could do a video on Uber or AirBnB next?
Knowledge Headquarters uber would be interesting
There's a nice book telling the story of both in a lot of details: The Upstarts.
Another great and informational video
Siemens please!!!!!
Do you mean the retailer Simons or the German Siemens? I am not familiar with the latter
Would love to hear its backstory.
Pavel Horal I been asking for this for about 4months now.
yeahhhh
Jonas Jezussek yea
I always thought the hbc was just a company that owned most of Canada for a while
You should do General Motors
IM SAYING
I really did like this channel! The past week I’ve been bingeing on videos of a new business I had never thought of having a great history. Knowing the history of HBC quite well has made me second guess if all the other videos are as lazy and rushed.
They don’t have to cover the entire history just for it to be a good video
Looks like you improved your editing skills. Nice.
Do East India Company next
Almost 400 years that's a good run

The economy-geografics are to find the best and most efficiant route for that purpose.
cool this will shurly help in my exam
A Canadian company :)
Your videos are informative and easy to digest!
Do Deloitte next!
Wow the writing and animations of this episode are amazing! Great job!
the dutch voc might be an intresting video idea. adjusted for inflation it was the richest company ever!
Great, informative video!
The first image (the one of the shopping mall) is of Dizengoff Center in Tel Aviv. Feels kindda weird to see a place you know well in a video :)
I love your videos
got my watch fixed bought shoes and a new shirt yesterday from the bay at oakridge :D
Hmm UA-cam weird how I was just watching a show on Netflix about hbc and didn’t google anything about it but had my phone near the speakers...
Yeah 🤔
Great video thanks
I haven't been to a HBC store in years... I have been wondering what's keeping the HBC afloat nowadays
Stunning visuals on this one!How did you achieve this "cinematic" effect on pictures?
It's hard to compress 400+ years into an 8 minute video. The HBC story could be a three hour video.
3:16 When you have a pic of the Battle of New Orleans with Andrew Jackson standing next to a French Flag, Smh.
clicked as fast as I could 😂
0:45, since a few months it's alsow available in the Netherlands whoops
I wanna travel one day on Hudson Bay
HBC still sets the North American fur prices as a mercantile exchange, something that even the powerful Walmart cannot do ... but the Canada it helped to create (due to the global warming) is much less in need of furs of any kind.
The entered the Netherlands very recently!
I actually use tab for a cause
What built North America...
Don't call the manifest destiny murderers, heroes.
I vote for the Dutch VOC!
Is no one else gonna notice his picture for "skirmeshes with the french" is a painting of the battle of new orleans during the war of 1812?
A video about Nokia would be interesting!
My wife worked in HBC sales. She told me HBC also get very cheap junk from China. When employees unload trucks - they have skin rush because all of the goods are very dirty and covered with factory dust.
No sources in the description :(
Buisness casual. Can you make a vid about the bike giant "giant"
Arn't they expanding to the Netherlands?
If HBC goes under, what happens to all the Olympic gear?!
do the story of american motors corporation - its quite tragic
Should have included more info
It would be great if you did one on Smith & Wesson!
Awesome video as usual! Just one thing music is louder than normal. it's making difficult to focus on your voice.
**Sips tea**
3:15 that's Andrew Jackson (an American not French). The painting is by Edward Percy Moran and it shows the battle of New Orleans (January 8, 1815). Also the French flag in this pic is just a Ameircan one in the original. Other than that, great vid

3:16 Isn’t that a painting depicting Andrew Jackson fighting the British in New Orleans in the war of 1812? The American flag was made a French flag, and the painting has nothing to do with the French 😂
Galeria Kaufhof?
Any one here from TNF?
3:16 that’s Andrew Jackson and battle of New Orleans
Calgary’s wasn’t built around a Hudson’s bay trading post it was built around a RCMP fort and it was Edmonton who was built around a Hudson’s bay post
Holy shit The Hudson’s bay company still exists?
beside a youtube channel should also have a blog so we can read before the youtube video less work also
Frontier anyone!!!!!!
i'm seeing a trend of businesses i've never heard of, struggling.
I am a Canadian
You know your company is old when the first chief executive of your company was called governor instead of CEO...
So many ads on one video

Not if you watch the sales. They regularly blow stuff out cheap. 50 to 70% off happens all the time.
