Just so Canadians are clear on how much of a shitfight getting out of this can be, see the issues the current Australian government are having getting the lease of Darwin’s port by the Chinese wound back after our conservatives sold the lease to them.

Open to foreign investment is another way to say the headline

And foreign investment consists of selling ownership of domestic capital to foreign owners. Owners who collect domestic profit and export it, and exercise control in the interest of foreign entities. Words that rarely go along with the celebration of foreign investment but are the other side of the coin.

Then he needs constraining/restraining, NOW.

You DO NOT sell-yourself to corporate OR oligarchic feudalism, as a means of "improving" or "strengthening" yourself, now.

the correctly-managed method may be more tiresome, it may take longer, but it means owning oneself when the feudalisms have vanquished all the others..

Thank you for making this incompetence/delusion of his visible here, OP..

We get it. We bought into conservatism light to avoid getting fully-leaded conservatism.

We don't have to like it, but we know the harm is reduced.
