Companies must "actively operate" in Canada to bid on big federal contracts, says Procurement Minister Joël Lightbound. For some business groups, that's not Canadian enough.
Canada has been economically colonized. Governments of the past have allowed far too many Canadian businesses to be bought by foreign entities. If a Canadian company is going to collapse without foreign capital, maybe it should collapse. Or maybe they could be nationalized and reprivatized into viable businesses. Slapping a maple leaf on a company doesn’t stop money from leaving Canada.
Canada is a foreign-owned resource extraction colony. Successful Canadian companies or manufacturers either get bought by foreign interests or killed off. There’s a reason so much of our economy is selling raw materials instead of making things with them and selling the products instead.
