The new policy means Canada will allow foreign-controlled multinationals to qualify as “Canadian” simply by running revenue and some employment through a local subsidiary. Take General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems. With plants across Quebec, it dominates the production of bullets, shells, missiles, and explosives in Canada. But the firm is American. The policy thus invites the very gaming it is supposed to stop. If this approach persists, a Canadian mailing address will be considered as important as who owns or controls the company. The result will be a system that continues to bind us to foreign allies rather than supporting and growing our own.

A Canadian journalism community for independent news, reports, blogs, editorials, and whatever.

*Independent journalism is generally free from government and corporate interests, and not controlled by a major media conglomerate. “Independence” is a gradient, so use your best judgement when posting.

*Current depends on whether new, publicly available information has been released since the article has last been updated. When in doubt, add the publishing or last revision date to the title in a tag [like this.]

Check out !Independent_Media@lemmy.today for independent news from around the world.

Or go to !wildfeed@sh.itjust.works for a less serious, anything-goes news community

All communities were created with the goal of increasing media literacy and media pluralism.
