Don't know anything about BB in the US apart from them not doing too well in the Brick and Mortar business, but just like Target in Canada, which recently declared bankruptcy after 2 or so years of doing business here, BB in Canada is a separate corporation, and the consumer protection laws are completely different here anyway.

BB here is fine, they have their issues like any other retailer, problem is that they were basically competing with themselves having 2 banners. I personally think they should have done the opposite and convert all the BB stores to Future Shop, but similar to Target, BB overestimated the weight of their Brand name outside of the US.

Future Shop has been around since the early 80's as opposed to BB which entered Canada about 20 years later, so my guess is that they feel safe having been around for more than a decade. Time will tell, but the predominant brand name here was still Future Shop no matter which way you slice it.
