Espec...AWESOME submission.<br /><br /># 4 Excellent point. <br />Especially when it comes to the energy sector. If foreign takeovers continue at this pace there will no longer be a need to send any Canadians to climate talk summits. We will have to send the Koreans instead to represent us. Why should anyone listen to the Canadian government about anything environmental if we don't own or manage our own resources? <br /><br /><br />If foreign takeovers continue there is no longer a need for tax payers to fund expensive high tech university or college programs in newer clean energy technology. If there are no Cdn. head offices or decent paying jobs in those sectors, graduates will flock to other countries for work and rightfully so. <br /><br />What do Iggy, the NDP or the Bloc have to say to that? As opposition parties they are all responsible for the damage caused by this flawed CON legislation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7141615629701321642.post-55802814577096926112010-03-11T15:27:45.143-05:002010-03-11T15:27:45.143-05:00This whole thing blows me away.
