I'm sure a bunch of liberals will be along at any minute now, to condemn Harper for allowing a Chinese state owned company, to invest in the oilsands. :lol: :lol:

Mr. Gore and his partners were eager to complete the deal by Dec. 31, lest it be subject to higher tax rates that took effect on Jan. 1, according to several people who insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.

Despite being a conservative who voted for Harper - and being a constituency president for one conservative ederal fmember of parliament - not too long ago - I actually do condemn Harper for NEXEN - which I am sure is what you meant.

I have no problem with foreign investment - however I have a huge problem with foreign ownership!

The Chinese did not invest - they bought it - lock stock and barrel - to run as THEY see fit - and that will mean jobs lost to Canadians as they bring in workers under the temprary workers permit system.

See how the Chinese have brought in 300 workers to run two mines in British Columbia because they did not want to provide those jobs to Canadians.

See how the Chinese are ignoroing court orders from the British Columbia courts as they believe they do not fall under Canadian law as they are a complete Chinese company with no Canadian workers.

NEXEN will be next - they will start laying off Canadians and bringing in temporary workers.

Beware of China - a vast, powerful and extremely corupt country that has no respect for anything that is not Chinese - if they cannot buy it they will steal it - if they cannot steal it they will take it by force.

The US of A has a lot of problems we talk about and even promote on these boards - but Canada SHOULD be a hot topic right now as well - too bad it is not.

Until it affects you personally

Become unemployed due to foreign buyouts and it is not so rosy.

American capitalism at its best has unfortunately started to affect Canada in a negative way - yet again

Cows and sheep are calling - time to go and sulk in the cold while I feed them their daily rations - cheers

end of the world may be near...I agree with Kola... if they own the company, they can do with it what they please... I do think they must operate under the law though....


ask the guys who work for me. there is no democracy. I am a dictator. don't like it? I can find any idiot to take their place. if you think your opinion is so valuable, then cough up the cash and we can put your name on all the bank notes and you can run it your way....until then, piss off and do your job!

I agree BC.

My point had more to do with conservatives being honest enough to say when they do not agree with something, even if they voted for the person. And the opposite of that being true for liberals.

Beck tried to buy the station, but was told that they weren't going to sell to somebody that didn't share their same values. Sooooo, Al Gore's values are closer to militant Islam than a Constitutionalist. Please defend that, liberals.
