Seniors and families with kids still hang out at malls too, especially when temperatures are cold outside. I think Canada's climate helps keep some of the "mall culture" still around.
But then again, people walking around without buying anything or hanging out there for the sake of having a local hangout spot doesn't really help malls stay afloat.
