Read the full story: First Nations offer to buy ‘iconic’ Hudson’s Bay store chain for tobacco, blanket

I'd be willing to go as high as TWO blankets, some tobacco, AND a full set of copper cookware, including a kettle filled with glass beads.

Your move, Walking Eagle.

Sold!

Note, I'm not legally entitled to speak for HBC, but I am white, and we have a long history of taking, exploiting, and selling things, that don't belong to us. Thanks for the blanket, and tobacco.

When asked whether the offer was reasonable, First Nations negotiators responded, "We feel that in consideration of the fact that THIS COMPANY WOULDN'T EVEN FUCKING EXIST WITHOUT THE HARD WORK AND SKILL OF OUR ANCESTORS, our offer is extremely generous."
