These terrifying photos of Sears clearance sales in Canada show the devastating impact of the retail apocalypse (SHLD)

• Sears Canada, which is separate from Sears' business in the US, is liquidating all of its assets.
• As it closes stores, everything has gone on sale.
• The resulting photos are apocalyptic.

Sears is shuttering its Canadian locations — and the stores are descending into chaos.

Earlier in October, Sears Canada announced it would seek court approval to liquidate its remaining stores and assets in the nation.

Now, liquidators have taken over the locations. First, they bumped up the prices on items that were previously on sale, Consumerist reported. Now they're dragging prices down until everything is gone.

The result is apocalyptic. Many Sears locations in the US are looking pretty shabby right now. But, as seen in photos published by Consumerist, even the worst Sears in America looks pretty good in comparison.

Here's some of the worst carnage yet of the retail apocalypse.

Sears Canada liquidation sales began on October 19 and are expected to continue for 10 to 14 weeks.

Stores are covered in signs proclaiming that "EVERYTHING MUST GO."

By the end of the weekend, everything had been marked down 20% to 50% at most Sears locations.
