    Is It True?

    Sometime ago I read (I don't remember the source) that 90% of Canada's economic engines are owned by US Corporations.

    Does anyone know if this is a fact? If so what source are you using?

      "The United States sells more than twice as many goods to Canada, a market of 30 million people, as to Japan, a market of over 125 million. Canada is a larger market for US goods than all 15 members of the European Union combined."

      "The United States is the largest foreign investor in Canada and the most popular destination for Canadian investment. "

      So who needs who again?

        Well I did a quick once over and though it states that the US is the largest foreign invester I did not see a percentage of the Canadian business's that are controlled by US investers.

        I wish I could remember the source that stated 90% of the major business's in Canada are controlled by US investers/corporations.

              You will read this and it will eat you inside because you want to reply to it but you cant because you said you have me on ignore.

              Love, your best friend Labret. Spitting in the face of Canadian aggression since 92.

                      The Pro-2067

                      I still havent figured out trunking on this motherfucker.

                      Did you get it from an American dealer? 99% of most new American scanners will have the more sensitive scanning areas blocked out. No worries though, plenty of mods out there.

                        Although it is the 51st state of the USA, it is not worthless.

                            believe it or not no.
                            Labret likes to piss people off with every post he makes. Maybe 1 in 50 posts of his are helpful or at least non offensive.
                            Rather then read his crap and get annoyed, I just use the ignore feature.
                            What is the purpose of this feature if I read his messages and fight with myself not to reply?
                            Maybe you have little to no self control but I do.

                            His game is to get a rise out of people, and laugh at their reaction. I'll deny him that fun by not playing along.
                            Its only fun to bother people if they get upset and you see a reaction from them.

                                      It is not true

                                      Most of Canadas economic instituations are in fact protected by law from intense foreign ownership. The lastest figures released for 1998 show that there are 12,725 foreign owned corporations in Canada that account for roughly 31.5% of all corporate revenue generated in Canada.

                                      The breakdown of the 12,725 foreign owned companies is as follows:



                                      FOREIGN OWNERSHIP OF CANADIAN
                                      CORPORATIONS*

                                      (1998)


                                      REGION # of Cdn. corps %

                                      United States 6,819 53.6%

                                      European Union 3,387 26.6

                                              Most of Canadas economic instituations are in fact protected by law from intense foreign ownership. The lastest figures released for 1998 show that there are 12,725 foreign owned corporations in Canada that account for roughly 31.5% of all corporate revenue generated in Canada.

                                              The breakdown of the 12,725 foreign owned companies is as follows:
