Eaton's was a fairly nice store, but really, the only times I went there was to use its entrance into or exit from the Pacific Centre down in the basement where Eaton's food department used to be (and it was pretty nice). But I never really liked that building for some reason. Most recently, I did go into that store after it had changed over into a Sears and it was like night and day. There was no service and limited merchandise. Rather like a K-mart...which, of course, makes sense.

So I guess it should be no surprise that they are closing stores. Still, I'll go to the tools section at Sears over Lowe's (who thinks all Muslims are terrorists) or Home Depot (whose only employees seem to be cashiers) every time.

So long as they're somewhere along one of the many many ubiquitous light rail SkyTrain lines, though, it's not like a big deal.

For Nordstrom yo enter the Canadian market, it would represent another large risk in their corporate history, akin to their first California stores. The Canadian market has significantly matured in the past 10-15 years, so the timing may be right. Lord knows the US economy doesn't have the expansion of upper level consumers that Nordstrom attracts.
