Hudson's Bay takes landlords to court over billionaire's lease takeover
Hudson's Bay has solidified its faith in a controversial deal to sell leases to a B.C. billionaire by asking a court to force landlords critical of her to let her move in. A motion filed by the collapsed department store late Tuesday asked the Ontario Superior Court to reassign 25 of its leases to Ruby Liu. Fifteen of the leases cover properties in Ontario, including Fairview Mall, Sherway Garden, Bayshore Shopping Centre and Bramalea City Centre. The remaining 10 are split evenly between Alberta and B.C. and include West Edmonton Mall, CF Market Mall and Guildford Town Centre. The group of leases will cost Liu about $69 million, minus a litany of fees she has to pay as a condition of taking them on, the latest documents show. The Bay thinks Liu should get the leases because the deal will help it repay creditors, offer jobs to former Bay employees and fill vacant properties so landlords avoid the visual and economic blight of a 'dark' or empty store for a significantly prolonged period. If landlords aren't forced to accept Liu, the company warns significant benefits and value creation will be lost and it will have to turn its former stores back over to landlords. The filing sets up the Bay for a fight that will pit it against some of the country's most prominent landlords, including Cadillac Fairview, Oxford Properties and Primaris. If it wins, Liu estimates the retailer will make a $50 million dent in the roughly $1.1 billion in debt it had when it filed for creditor protection in March. That process led the Bay to close all of its stores and start soliciting buyers for its leases. One dozen bidders made offers for 39 properties. Liu was designated the winner of the bulk of them. The Vancouver-based entrepreneur made her fortune in Chinese real estate and owns three B.C. malls, including the Woodgrove Centre and Mayfair Shopping Centre, which she is willing to sell to advance her push for the Bay leases. Liu inked two deals to buy a collective 28 leases that belonged to the Bay and its sister Saks stores in May. The first deal — for three leases at malls Liu owns — sailed through court with no opposition. Ruby Liu has drafted a plan for a new self-named department store.

Photo: (Ben Nelms/CBC) The second became fraught shortly after it was announced, when landlords began meeting with Liu and found she had little information to share about her bid to open a new department store named after herself and replete with retail, dining, entertainment and recreational spaces. A package Liu sent landlords in early June, which was obtained by The Canadian Press, showed she thought she was capable of opening up to 20 stores within just 180 days of signing leases. It offered a vague financial budget and mentioned hiring efforts and meetings with prospective suppliers but did not name the potential vendors. Court records filed on Tuesday showed the initial package and meetings with Liu left Cadillac Fairview with the strong impression that Ms. Liu is making this up as she goes. Primaris REIT felt her plans were predicated upon hope, optimism and not on experience. New plans filed alongside the Bay's motion show Liu has taken another stab at a business roadmap. Promise of new flagship stores This time around she's budgeting $375 million for her venture and is looking at opening three tiers — flagship, platinum and standard — of a new, self-named department store. Though she has spoken repeatedly about putting dining, entertainment and recreational spaces into her stores, she promises to take on the leases as is. Much has been made of my public comments around the retail concepts that I believe may appeal to modern shoppers, Liu writes. However, this should not be taken as any intention to ignore the terms of the lease. Liu says $120 million will be invested on overdue repairs to roofs, HVAC systems, washrooms, elevators and escalators and $135 million on initial inventory. She projects her plan will create at least 1,800 new jobs and by 2027, generate more than $420 million in annual sales. Despite the landlords' opposition to the assignment of the leases to Liu, she says she is confident that my growing team (which will include former HBC executives) will be able to build fruitful and lasting relationships with them and their communities. Liu's filing was made after 50 pages she sent to judge Peter Osborne — against the Bay's advice — were entered into the court record. They included two notes to Osborne sent a day apart that were appended with letters the Bay's lawyers and landlord lawyers sent to her and her counsel. The records show the Bay's lawyers heeded early criticism from landlords and started pressing Liu to prepare a more in-depth plan. They urged Liu to hire the retailer's former CEO Liz Rodbell as a consultant and KPMG as a financial adviser and bring back Miller Thomson as legal representation and offered to shave $3 million off the price of the leases, if she did so. The new business plan Liu filed Tuesday makes no mention of Rodbell or Miller Thomson but lists KPMG as a potential tax adviser and auditor.

McGill University team develops AI that can detect infection before symptoms appear
Participants wore a smart ring, a smart watch, and a smart T-shirt that monitored multiple physiological parameters and activities. In the photo, an Apple Watch in 2015 in Tokyo. (Koji Sasahara, File/AP Photo) MONTRÉAL — Researchers at McGill University say they developed an artificial intelligence platform that can predict when someone is about to come down with a respiratory tract infection before they start to feel sick. In what researchers are calling a 'world first,' the study involved participants who wore a ring, a watch and a T-shirt, all of which were equipped with censors that recorded their biometric data. By analyzing the data, researchers were able to accurately predict acute systemic inflammation — an early sign of a respiratory infection such as COVID-19. Published in The Lancet Digital Health, the study says the AI platform can one day help doctors address health problems much earlier than they normally would, particularly in patients who are fragile and for whom a new infection could have serious consequences. It could also potentially reduce costs for the health-care system by preventing complications and hospitalizations. 'We were very interested to see if physiological data measured using wearable sensors … could be used to train an artificial intelligence system capable of detecting an infection or disease resulting from inflammation,' explained the study's lead author, Prof. Dennis Jensen of McGill University's department of kinesiology and physical education. 'We wondered if we could detect early changes in physiology and, from there, predict that someone is about to get sick.' Jense says the AI model his team created is the first in the world to use physiological measures — including heart rate, heart rate variability, body temperature, respiratory rate, blood pressure — rather than symptoms, to detect a problem. Acute systemic inflammation is a natural defence mechanism of the body that usually resolves on its own, but it can cause serious health problems, especially in populations with pre-existing conditions. 'The whole idea is kind of like an iceberg,' Jensen said. 'Kind of when the ice cracks the surface, that's like when you're symptomatic, and then it's too late to really do much to treat it.' During the study, McGill researchers administered a weakened flu vaccine to 55 healthy adults to simulate infection in their bodies. The subjects were monitored seven days before inoculation and five days after. Participants wore a smart ring, smart watch, and a smart T-shirt simultaneously throughout the study. As well, researchers collected biomarkers of systemic inflammation using blood samples, PCR tests to detect the presence of respiratory pathogens, and a mobile app to collect symptoms reported by participants. In total, more than two billion data points were collected to train machine learning algorithms. Ten different AI models were developed, but the researchers chose the model that used the least amount of data for the remainder of the project. The chosen model correctly detected nearly 90 per cent of actual positive cases and was deemed more practical for daily monitoring. On their own, Jensen said, none of the data collected from the ring, watch, or T-shirt alone is sensitive enough to detect how the body is responding. 'An increase in heart rate alone may only correspond to two beats per minute, which is not really clinically relevant,' he explained. 'The decrease in heart rate variability can be very modest. The increase in temperature can be very modest. So the idea was that by looking at … several different measurements, we would be able to identify subtle changes in physiology.' The algorithms also successfully detected systemic inflammation in four participants infected with COVID-19 during the study. In each case, the algorithms flagged the immune response up to 72 hours before symptoms appeared or infection was confirmed by PCR testing. Ultimately, the researchers hope to develop a system that will inform patients of possible inflammation so they can contact their health-care provider. 'In medicine, we say that you have to give the right treatment to the right person at the right time,' Jensen said. By expanding the therapeutic window in which doctors can intervene, he added, they could save lives and achieve significant savings by avoiding hospitalizations and enabling home management of chronic conditions or even aging. 'In a way, we hope to revolutionize personalized medicine.' This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 30, 2025. By Jean-Benoit Legault, The Canadian Press
