Canopy Growth Corp.: The Smiths Falls, Ont. cannabis company announced plans to shed 800 staff — 35 per cent of its workforce — in February in an effort to help the business reach profitability. Clutch: The online car retailer reduced its team from 231 to 81 people in January with its chief executive Dan Park citing a"challenging microeconomic environment.''
Hudson's Bay: The department store chain said it was letting go of two per cent of its workforce, estimated to be about 250 employees, in January. The corporate roles were concentrated at The Bay and Hudson's Bay, the retailer's online and brick-and-mortar operations, and meant to help it navigate"significant external pressures.''
