The last two Zellers stores in Ontario closed down in January 2020, but it seems like Hudson's Bay isn't ready to let it go just yet.
Zellers has even started trending on Twitter with users sharing memes celebrating the beloved chain's return. Canadian Youtuber Stewart Reynolds, aka Brittlestar, even got in the action with a throwback to a love song he once created for Zellers.
OMG OMG OMG... THEY'RE TESTING OUR RESPONSE TO A RETURN OF ZELLERS https://t.co/dChCZXibJw https://t.co/vPUP09niuY— Brittlestar (@Brittlestar) 1632485008.0

Toronto Was Just Ranked One Of The Best Cities In The World & The Bragging Rights Are Real
Take that, Berlin and Sydney.
Toronto is one of the most desirable places to live in Canada, but how it compares to all the other top cities in the world is a much deeper question. Thankfully, we now have the answer.
According to the World's Best Cities report, an acclaimed ranking of urban hot spots by Resonance Consultancy, the 6ix is currently named the 18th greatest global destination. Toronto beat out all other Canadian cities by a country mile, including Vancouver, Montreal and Calgary, which took the 46th, 48th and 49th spots respectively.
The city's diversity, education, and economic growth are cited as the biggest factors for cracking the top 20. In fact, it ranks number four in the study's "people category" trailing just behind London, England.
The Big Smoke was also revealed to be the fastest-growing metropolitan area in all of North America over the summer, making its future undeniably bright.
Here are the top 25 cities that made the list:
- London, England
- Paris, France
- New York, United States
- Moscow, Russia
- Dubai, United Arab Emirates
- Tokyo, Japan
- Singapore, Singapore
- Los Angeles, United States
- Barcelona, Spain
- Madrid, Spain
- Rome, Italy
- Doha, Qatar
- Chicago, United States
- Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
- San Francisco, United States
- Amsterdam, Netherlands
- St. Petersburg, Russia
- Toronto, Canada
- Sydney, Australia
- Berlin, Germany
- Las Vegas, United States
- Washington, United States
- Istanbul, Turkey
- Vienna, Austria
- Beijing, China
The report looks at the world's biggest cities with populations of one million or more and rankings are determined by analyzing factors that typically attract employment, investment and tourism across six categories: place, product, programming, people, prosperity, and promotion. It takes things like the number of foodie experiences and museums into account, as well as Global 500 corporations, direct flight connections, and even the number of mentions each city has on Instagram.
"The data collected for this year's rankings provide a snapshot of the performance of these cities one year into the pandemic and are an early indicator of how they have each been affected by COVID-19," Resonance President and CEO Chris Fair said in a release. "While no city has been spared from the effects of the pandemic over the past year, they have fared differently. This new World's Best Cities ranking provides a snapshot of which cities are best positioned to recover, and even thrive, in the years ahead."

Here's What Has Gone Down In Toronto Since Election Results Started Rolling In
A lot has happened in the last 24 hours!
Justin Trudeau won last night's 2021 federal election with a minority government, and here's everything that's happened in Toronto in the last 24 hours.
From long lines to city officials' responses and where ridings stand as votes continue to be counted from mail-in ballots.
Long voter lines
Toronto voters showed up to polling stations yesterday ready to cast their ballots, but some were met with massive lines and long wait times.
Torontonians took to Twitter to share their frustrations.
One Twitter user even claimed they waited 75 minutes to vote, while others reported even longer wait times of up to 2 hours.
75 minutes to vote this morning in Toronto Parkdale-High Park. Many reports of fewer polling stations in urban centers. But voters are patiently waiting their turn, in long lines, to cast a ballot. Turnout, down in most provinces post-#Covid-19, a real question. #cdnpoli #elexn44 pic.twitter.com/X0hrRBdwpx

Premier Doug Ford responds to election results and encourages 'unity'
Premier Doug Ford responded to Trudeau's win this morning in a press release saying, "I want to congratulate Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on his re-election and congratulate all federal leaders who campaigned across Canada to ensure Canadians' voices were heard on the important issues facing this country."
Ford went on to address how for many Canadians, this election has been "extremely difficult and divisive."
"For many, this has been an extremely difficult and divisive election and I would like to take this opportunity to urge unity. Emotions have run high as candidates from all parties debated pandemic policies, including vaccine certificates."
The premier also clarified his own views on vaccine certificates that come into effect in Ontario tomorrow.
"There are a lot of people who are concerned about this policy and I want you to know that I hear you. I understand your concerns about protecting your civil liberties and right to privacy. While many fully vaccinated people like myself share these concerns, the greater concern is having to shut down again or experience a sudden surge in cases like in Alberta and Saskatchewan."
Mayor John Tory Responds
Mayor John Tory congratulated Trudeau in a statement released on Twitter early this morning at 5: 15 a.m. and thanked all Toronto residents who "cast their ballot" in the election.
I want to congratulate Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau on his election victory.

"I want to congratulate Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on his election victory," said Tory in a statement.
"During the election, I was encouraged by the Prime Minister's commitment to continued pandemic emergency financial support for Toronto, and all municipalities, as well as making needed investments in housing, transit and healthcare – including mental health. We also look forward to moving forward with universal child care."
"I am committed to continuing to work with the Prime Minister, his Ministers, and Toronto MPs to advance these priorities and get through this pandemic and make sure Toronto comes back stronger than ever for the benefit of the city and the entire country," he said

Trudeau Says He's ‘Looking Into’ Toronto Liberal Candidate's Dropped Sexual Assault Charge
The candidate's campaign is currently paused.
Toronto Liberal candidate Kevin Vuong has been asked to pause his campaign by the Liberal Party after a dropped sexual assault charge from 2019 has come to light.
The Toronto Star reported that Vuong was charged with sexual assault in 2019. However, according to the Toronto Star, the charge was withdrawn later that year.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke to reporters about the allegations during a campaign visit to the University of Windsor on Friday, September 17.
Trudeau said the Liberal party first learned about the allegations from the Toronto Star's report and "are looking into it very carefully," and have "asked the candidate to pause his campaign."
"First of all, as you said, we are a party that always takes seriously any allegations or reports of sexual harassment or intimidation or assault that has been clear from the very beginning. As you also pointed out, we only learned about these serious allegations yesterday through the work of the Toronto Star. We are looking into it very carefully, and we have asked the candidate to pause his campaign," said Trudeau.
When asked if Vuong would be able to sit as a Liberal if he wins his seat, Trudeau responded, "We're looking into it right now, we've asked him to pause the campaign and we're trying to find out more."
Vuong told the Toronto Star in an interview that he wishes to "unequivocally state that these allegations are false" and says that he "vigorously fought" the charges up until they were dropped in November 2019.
