We have at the moment for example, where the Chinese government is making a take over bid for Nexen an oil company based in Calgary. And let's face it the Chinese government is going to do what it can get away with. It is already buying huge tracks of agricultural land throughout the world so that it will be able to feed its population in the future. What are we doing? We are sitting on our hands in the blame mode against the Chinese. It wouldn't be surprising to learn the Canada Government has already sanctioned this take over bid of Nexen. The other element in this attemped acquisition are the shareholders. Not many people give a darn about propriety or ethical behaviour when it comes to making pots of money and that includes Canadians. The more these foreign companies buy up the greater inequality becomes and the poorer we become. So the question is....why are we allowing our Government to act so very irresponsibly. When getting to the bottom of the truth, it is not the Chinese we need to be blaming. It also seems the masses are here only for huge corporations to exploite creating poverty. Open pit mining is being permitted in the Province of Nova Scotia which a Gold Minining company from Australia has bought. In the mean time there is a small family business which is located in the middle of this mining area, who are being forced to sell by the Nova Scotia government. Has any one here seen what open pit mining looks like after a company moves out? At least an oil spill can be cleaned up if taken seriously.Anyonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15765384812104835792noreply@blogger.com
