Despite being owned by an American, the Hudson Bay Company has been trumpeting the "We Are Canadian" note a lot lately. This is because of their agreement with the Vancouver 2010 Olympics in being able to create and sell 2010 Olympic branded clothing.



The HBC, which is the parent company of The Bay, Zellers, Home Outfitters, and Fields, has released a video promoting the 2010 Olympic clothing line. But in the process, they've hit a cord which reminds the viewer that the HBC is actually older than Canada itself.
