Just banned from owning Canadian newspapers? What kind of shortsighted headline is that. Canada has been consistently sold off and facilities shut down over time. And this all happened with the stamp of approval from our federal governments (both Liberal and Conservative).
Look at our natural resources sector for example. We ship raw materials out (lumber, oil, minerals) for cheap and it is sold back to us at a premium. We need to keep these resources here so that people here can turn them into goods that is sold at a higher premium. This elevates our wages and allows our government to collect more taxes which in turn improves public services. Alas, our politicians are not only bought and paid for, but love to stick to their neoliberal ideology. It’s all short term gains.
