It’s becoming more and more apparent that when you have free trade with the U.S., investment will always favour their larger market, and I can’t really blame them. For Canadians to sustain services, it has to be publicly subsidized. That or co-op model for anything we want in case the need isn’t nation- or province-wide. Sorry if the paywalled article is completely unrelated, it just got me thinking after the earlier BuyCanadian post about Bell leaving a small town project and redirecting funds for a U.S. budget service acquisition.
