Where is the Waffle when We Need Them???
In yesteryear the Waffle raised our conciseness about the importance of keeping the decision making/management of key leaders in industrial sector in Canadian hands. Over the past two years we have seen numerous take overs of major Canadian companies by foreign interests. The Harper Government has been conspicuous by its silence. They have never articulated a policy to protect Canadian industrial and /manufacturing interests .They seem to be of the opinion that the global economy means Canada is for sale to the highest bidder. This will mean an out flow of key investment decision and capital to the foreign owners. As the dollar reaches parity with the US we will see a further loss of value added well paying manufacturing jobs. The Harper Government is doing nothing to protect Canadian companies and Canadian jobs
