We see the same with cliffs with the chromite mines of northern ontario.

Is it in Canada's interests to have all their metal resources owned by US companies?

I find it concerning. When we have instances like US steel with renigging on contracts and barely if ever getting penalized for economic damages to Canada.

we have another article with this title

ArcelorMittal, partner nearing absolute control of Baffinland

As I said before under Mulroney we had the Free Trade and under Harper we have the selling of Canada. Canada is rich with natural resources and every country is out there wanting a piece of it and when they are done, nothing will be left and Ottawa is to blame. Canadians haven't seen nothing yet, just wait and see what happens in the future.

ArcelorMittal 70% and Nunavut Iron Ore 30% I made good money off this stock and going to make more. But the other way that I understand was a ex -head of it was trying to get the chinese to get into it.

Toronto, like a roach motel in the middle of a pretty living room.

The British North America Act that created a sovereign Canada was created in order to protect Canada's financial interests from an increasing attempts by the US to take over Canadian resources and take control of the economy, and as a measure to defend against a potential military invasion by the United States.

Looks like after 145 years the US finally found a way around it and the people that would help them take over Canada. We are doomed to become US citizens if we let Harper stay as Prime Minister any longer!

There's a big fog moving in from the east... London Stock market to take over the TSX and Montreal Stock Markets... We may never know what's happening in our own resources sectors...

What's Liberal and NDP opinion? Maybe they should get elected and run the show.

What were the rules under Liberals?

Should we adapt same rules as Thailand?

Concerning or disconcerting? Is "renigging" the same thing they call in Ohio and Indiana "nigger rigging"?

Nope...no reason to buy the cow if we can get the milk so cheap! ;)

Apparently not. Merger yes, jointly headquartered in London and Toronto.

Now in the future......

EXACTLY!

The "merger" will have a 60 / 40 split with Brits holing 60% of the directors and Canada only holding 40% on the Board. That is simply a take-over...not a real merger...

It's 55/45. It's as close as you can get to a merger.

Sure we could. He hasn't promised to gove us away to the US. His presence at Harvard was to teach Americans a little civility in politics and culture in a Canadian way. That is better than having a new Vive President Harper towing the line to the whims of the CIA.
