Canada has been economically colonized. Governments of the past have allowed far too many Canadian businesses to be bought by foreign entities. If a Canadian company is going to collapse without foreign capital, maybe it should collapse. Or maybe they could be nationalized and reprivatized into viable businesses. Slapping a maple leaf on a company doesn't stop money from leaving Canada.

Canada is a foreign-owned resource extraction colony. Successful Canadian companies or manufacturers either get bought by foreign interests or killed off. There's a reason so much of our economy is selling raw materials instead of making things with them and selling the products instead.
