RE: rim -harper "If the government is going to put restrictions on what companies can and cannot be taken over, then these companies should not be allowed to be a public company. Harper and his cronies should keep their noses out of the public market trading place."
I think you are going way off the deep end my friend. All governments of all nations (That I know of) limit the amount of foreign ownership in sectors that are considered key to national security and sovereignty. If not then strong foreign powers could buy up the key industries of a nation and turn the government and its people into their puppets. This is not a Canadian thing or a Conservative thing at all, but I will venture a guess that you did not vote Conservative in the last election and would be willing to blame Harper for a rainy day.
