BBI
BLACKBIRD ENERGY INC
stock CVE

Okay so two weird, unusual circumstances here:
1. $BLIAQ $BLIBQ (the split of A & B shares from the OG "BBI" Blockbuster Inc. in 2004) in CH 7 liquidation proceedings that ended on June 29, 2021 I'd like to say. Might've been a year or two earlier. When that Liquidation closes for what was "Blockbuster US" (informally) then those tickers usually get taken off of trading on the OTC Markets Group that day.
The fact that they haven't is disturbing and I almost feel like going to the courts as I am no longer a broker sub 30-year-old millennial but someone who wants to do his part cleaning this market up. Even a class action is warranted - not against the empty BB Liquidating Inc. - but those responsible for allowing it to persist and rip off many a holder. Even Trading View is not entirely clean here - type in the $BLIAQ (A Shares) ticker and they use the Blockbuster logo - a registered TM of Dish Newtowk Corporation.
2. $SRSCQ - the 100% owned and 1952 "Candian" 50% of the original trans-USA/Canadian border "Sears, Roebuck, & Co" that was first a joint venture that was 1/2 US based with Sears, Roebuck, & Co (Chicago, IL HQ'd) and "Simpsons" a place that had been operating in Canada since the early 20th century as "Simpsons-Sears" in the first few years of the JV in the 1950's into the 1960's carrying the US Sears, Roebuck, & Co products and even the famed US conglomerates "Mail-Order housing catalogue" to serve Canada in that era. After the 1970's progressed the US entity (the OG, Sears Roebuck & Co) bought all the remaining Simpsons-Sears stores in Canada and then that birthed the 1984 rebranding of these Simpsons-Sears stores to "Sears Canada Inc.'
What Sears Canada Inc. is, imo, is the original remnant and bloodline back to the OG Sears, Roebuck, & Co whereas the old Sears Holdings Company by Eddie Lampert was changed in 2005 when it merged with its K-Mart Stores acquisition in the United States to become a parent company that owned all US Sears retail locations and K-Mart retail stores under the parent Lampert formed out of Greenich, Connecticut in 2005 to be the parent or "Holding Company" of both US Sears (private) and Kmart (private) stores.
The last ever process I saw was held up in Ontario Supreme Courts and their odd sort of bankruptcy liquidation but in a dispute over the pay for the board of the directors of Sears Canada Inc. In the 2010's they sold many of their commercial real estate across Canada including a pricey downtown Toronto piece of CRE to Hudson's Bay. I saw the mail catalogue and the final online stores for Sears Canada Inc. on sears.ca had ended sometime around the pandemic pre or post. Oddly enough some Canadian Simpsons, Simpsons-Sears, and predecessors TM and SM of the pre 20th century Simpsons are still owned by Sears Canada Inc. The ongoing disputes in the Sears Canada Inc. board of directors has yet to be reported on.
Oddly enough while Lampert definitely delisted and cancelled all the $SHLDQ shares for the 2005 created parent holding co for Sears US locations (then private and restructured under Sears Holdings) - there are still Sears stores throughout the US in odd places (Miami, FL for one in a nice shopping center) - Sears.com is booming and their mailing campaign to send deals is almost daily as I signed up out of curiousity.
Is this just a saga unresolved? Why else would the shares of $SRSCQ still exist unless this board of directors in Canada are still technically in whatever the Ontario proceedings are arguing about their compensation etc (I believe the workers are suing or have sued fro Sears Canada as rumor had it - and I was there in 2015 btw) that the stores were doing just fine in Canada especially Ontario - so shuttering them made many laid off employees upset because they were profitable.
TL;DR - Sears Canada Inc. is the only legacy of the original legendary American retailer and former "online home listings service (Redfin, Zillow) where you could order a house in the turn of the 19th century and have it show up and build across the USA"... Sears Canada Inc. is not liquidated, owns CRE, and a legacy along with many valued trade and SM.
Anyone interested in discussing?
$BLIAQ and $BLIBQ all I can think of is they are either 100% independent of Dish Network Corp which is now a subsidiary of EchoStar Corporation - OR - has some sort of international objection to its liquidation as a legacy BBI store before 2008 was in fact how the rights in Europe that operated in Italy and is now a mainstay as far as streaming and movie production (like Netflix Originals) in the entire Scandinavian region could still have a tie back to this BB Liquidating Inc. Even if it is just one tiny little patent we are missing that is criticial and also a way for the Blockbuster of Europe to get back to the United States #1 worldwide consumer market.
My two cents.
