So, as many of us suspected, much of the flow from the proposed new Enbridge pipeline will be going down the West Coast to the U.S., not all of it to Asia as had previously been suggested. So much then for the lack of danger to the Pacific West Coast and all the more [...]
Among the hundreds of columns, editorial and rants re: the proposed stock exchange merger, I think Eric Reguly’s February 17th Globe column was by far the best. I’ve asked Jillian to attach it. “Tampering with an exchange that is perfectly suited to Canada’s needs could bring no benefit at all to this country. “ [...]
I find it difficult to understand why the Liberals, among many others, let the likes of Jack Mintz,, The National Post, and the other far-right wing sell-outs, get away with their persistent misleading propaganda about how Canadian Direct Investment Abroad is so much greater than foreign direct investment in Canada. I doubt that there [...]
I’ve asked Jillian to attached Diane Francis’s January 15 Financial Post column about foreign investment. Remarkable, to say the least. Francis for decades has been on the other side. This about face is most unexpected but appreciated nonetheless. I never thought I’d suggest people read a Diane Francis column. Maybe I’m getting old. Maybe [...]
Don Martin, in the National Post, writes “there’s a very high possibility that Canada would have dissolved in the 1970s or at least faced very serious disruption had Trudeau not been prime minister.” Surprising comment from a surprising source. “After his death, polls christened Mr. Trudeau the best prime minister in history, with a [...]
The performance of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce and its President and CEO, Perrin Beatty (former Mulroney cabinet minister), can only be described as disgraceful when considering their sellout comments re the attempted potash takeover. It seems to me that Beatty is not the sharpest knife in the drawer and he should be ignored [...]
Most Canadians are unaware that Investment Canada only screens foreign takeovers of companies valued at $250 million or more. As my previous posting on the number of takeovers pointed out, the figure of 1,600 takeovers in the last quarter century, used by both Eric Reguly and Barry McKenna in their articles in the Globe, [...]
Barrie Mckenna and Eric Reguly, two fine journalists, somehow manage to make the same bad mistake. In today’s Globe, Barrie says there were roughly 1,600 foreign takeovers in Canada over the past quarter century. To the end of September, there were in fact 11,724 takeovers. The “foreign” investment during the same period was some [...]
A letter in the Globe put it very well: “Being “open for business” without conditions is the badge of the banana republic.” Bravo!!!!! * * * * * The anti-Canadian deceivers (you know who they are) always refer to “foreign investment” but never to foreign ownership or foreign control. They either don’t understand the real [...]
Hurray! Looks like we finally won one. And bravo to Brad Wall and his Energy Minister who’ve done such a great job. And, hurray to, finally, the people of Saskatchewan who woke up in time. This whole potash business is more than just symbolic. It could represent an important turning point in our country’s history. [...]
