    Well THAT’s a step backward.

    How did Canada make such a bad decision when the EU is running full speed in the opposite (correct) direction?

          Why bit aim higher then a Douche and a shit sandwich. I can’t believe that this is piolitics now. America had two senial old men fighting and we had two shitty options.

          I really doubt that. He has the negotiating instincts of an anxious chihuahua.

          It’s okay if Carney was the best of all bad options at the time. Next time we can do better.

        Maybe it’s because corporations do their own fucking thing. Politicians hold little sway even with all those laws they created to protect the corporations (oops…I mean the citizens). My hot water tank finally gave up the ghost a few months back. Thanks Carney! /s

    I will blame Carney if the government doesn’t put a stop to this. At very least it should be held to the 10% foreign ownership that banks are.

    Moneris

    “The Royal Bank of Canada and Bank of Montreal announced earlier this week they would be selling jointly owned Moneris, one of Canada’s largest commerce solutions providers, to Francisco Partners for $2 billion.”

      We can hope, but the government has been too soft on corporations and “the free market” for a long time now. We’ll see if Carney has the spine to do it.
