A selective selloff

The Cons show that their friendliness toward business runs only along ideological lines, as the Globe and Mail reports that the same party which can't sell off Canada to the U.S. fast enough is willing to look at vetoing any investment in Canada which involves a state-owned investor. In addition to adding further tension to our already-tenuous relationship with China, the move should serve as a warning to scare off actors who might otherwise help to counterbalance U.S. domination of Canada's economy. But apparently for the Cons, any measure which indicates disapproval of government ownership is in the national interest - no matter how much worse off actual Canadians are as a result.
