Didn't I hear the political panel on the CBC National last night agree this needs to be done. I wasn't watching just listening off and on. But yeah, I think that was the conclusion.
asshole.. well lets vote him out so he doesn't have the chance.. shit Mulroney almost bankrupted us.. put a lot of Canadians out of work
Wasn't it already for sale? Wasn't the Harper government the first in almost 20 years to stop MacDonald Dettwhiler from being bought out?
Wasn't it the previous Liberal party governments that sank millions of taxpayers dollars into that company, with no agreement to safeguard our money?
"our money.."
"taxpayers money..."
Wasn't it also the Liberal government that got $19,000 in 2000 and $13,000 in 2001, from MDT?
Bombardier gave them $142,000 in 2001 and $100,000 in 2000.
In fact, it was so bad that Democracy Watch said:
"The study reveals a clear pattern of large donations to the Liberals, and significant lobbying efforts, by most of the corporations that receive the most federal government contract dollars," said Democracy Watch board member Aaron Freeman.

Sorry Demo-Derby. You're libs did nothing but hand out grants and take kickbacks from these companies and when MDT went up on the block, all of you cried like little babies, demanding something be done. Something that the Liberals should have done years ago.
I can find no examples of a Liberal government doing the same.
Lol. here come the election-noobs

Sorry ridenhack but once again your partisan Bs shines through not to mention your ongoing deceitfulness.
Harper pissed away billions in handouts and grants as you yourself said "was bad but ...." and that was loads more then the Libs or have you forgotten?
Lets not ignore the 2 billion dollar bribe given to QC allegedly to help Charest but really to serve to buy CPC votes, a move you screamed about when done by the Liberals.
As this thread article says, Harper to loosen rules on foreign ownership meaning that whatever the Libs did he will do only much worse.
So much for somebody who's campaign slogan was "Canada first" or did that just refer to his string of broken military promises?
Making it easier to sell off Canada. One step closer to the conservative goal of becoming part of the US.
Please give me an example of the Liberals stopping any buyouts of Canadian companies.
You can hardly call it bias when we did it and you never have.

FIRA was criticized by those concerned about American economic influence because it approved most of the applications it received. The agency was also strongly opposed by many business people, and in December 1984 Sinclair STEVENS, industrial expansion minister, revised its mandate to promote and facilitate investment in Canada by Canadians and foreigners; to undertake research and analysis; to provide policy advice; and to ensure that significant investment by foreigners created a net benefit to Canadians. There was also a move within the agency to implement special restrictions in cultural industries, eg, book publishing and film production. The name of the agency was changed to Investment Canada in 1985.
Citing one little example is nothing less then a smokescreen behind Harpers latest ploy.
I guess all those gaffs and scandals must be taking their toll.
Conservatives will always, given the chance, sell Canada out.
no need to worry lazy socialists don't own any of it.
