The Trudeau government’s failure to conduct national security reviews on two significant corporate takeovers by Americans – an Internet backbone that carries confidential federal government data and a satellite equipment maker – suggests the Liberals are loosening Canada’s controls on foreign investment, critics say.As The Globe and Mail reported this week, a $465-million deal to sell the coast-to-coast Allstream fibre-optic network to Zayo Group of Boulder, Colo., is raising fears the U.S. government will find it easier to gain access to confidential Canadian data. This comes after the Liberals decided not to conduct a formal national security review of the deal.
Similarly, the Trudeau cabinet opted against bringing the same official level of scrutiny to bear on the $455-million sale of Com Dev International Ltd.’s space hardware business to U.S. technology conglomerate Honeywell International.
The ease with which these transactions passed Ottawa stands in contrast to how the Conservatives blocked similar deals.
The last sentence of the quote above is telling. That's the thing. As socially regressive as the Cons sometimes are, I've frequently found them to be more upfront when it comes to business matters. The Libs in business often are as slippery as you can get.

Thank you for this....totally right on...we have a choice between the upfront corporatists and the deceivers using pretty faces and sweet rhetoric to lure people in support of the fraudulent corrupt system we still seem to have faith in here in Canada!

US-led geopolitics determines every aspect of state management in Canada.
Geopolitics determines domestic policy.
This is apparent in the client country “Canada”, where no sovereignty is allowed, and where domestic policy is entirely about preventing any emergence of actual democracy.
It is glaringly obvious, to anyone who escapes the constant institutional social-engineering restrictions and blaring propaganda amplified by all the media, that US-led geopolitics determines every aspect of state management in Canada.
That US-led geopolitics determines every aspect of state management in Canada is true in every area of state involvement:
- regulation of politics
- social policy
- health policy
- educational and student-debt policy
- prison and police complex
- domestic surveillance complex
- slave banking and monetary policy
- corporate tax and royalties policies
- zero resistance against foreign takeovers
- zero national policy for industrial-base development in all areas except the client arms industries and slave industries such as agri-food using proprietary seeds and chemicals
- slave trade agreements designed to counter BRICS and boost US global corporations
- implementation of carbon economic instruments
- pipeline economics (versus domestic refinement and transformation)
- predatory global mining extraction (including on domestic territories)
- arms industry preeminence
- arms purchases
- foreign policy and diplomatic campaigns
- involvement in and diplomatic support for illegal direct and proxy wars of aggression
The “Conservative” and “Liberal” blocks are entirely aligned with the US “Republican” and “Democrat” blocks, to the point that it has become a cartoon, with pipelines swinging in different directions at the turn of elections, as easily as geopolitical directions.
The Canadian state, in the hands of the US governing complex, has given itself the task of gutting our minds and our political agency, in order to serve the US global campaigns, without the nuisance of popular domestic awareness or demands. This has been a long and continuing process, which accelerated in the 1980s, and became solidified by ever-increasing “globalization” agreements, and security “cooperation”.
The truth is: there is no Canada
