        The already mostly foreign owners will brag about their exit, Lockheed Martin will shutter canadian jobs, and canada loses out. Now we learned from Stelco that Americans are buying up canadian tech just to destroy it. We need to wake up. US are our enemies.

        Capitalism is when the free market threatens feudalism, so the aristocracy slowly twists and abuses laws (like making a corporation a person, for a start) that deforms and shrivels the free market and turns it into feudalism once again.

        Capitalism is where the wealthy stay wealthy, and the rest of us defend it as freedom because we think we have no other option. It is not a death spiral, it is a wealth pump that is busily pumping in the wrong direction
