On a bit of a tangent there have been rumours over the past couple years about The Bay going public.

The Bay used to be public, then they were bought up by a rich American (some guy called Zucker) like 5 years ago. Company went private again and he had a lot of fairly decent ideas for them. Then he promptly died and his wife took over. She sold fairly quickly to some group that owns Lord and Taylor's stores in the states. HBC is still private at this point, but they may be public again. They also own Fields (score!).
On a "commercials I can't stand" tangent, I sure hate Bonnie Brooks and here nasally monotone voice advertising on the radio for stuff "only at the Bay".
