At the press conference, David Reevely from The Logic asked Joly how the money for an American company’s subsidiary jibed with the government’s “elbows up” message.

Since the announcement of the Defence Industrial Strategy, Canada has said it will spend billions on missile systems from Lockheed Martin. National Defence Minister David McGuinty has also argued that Palantir Canada — a branch of the American billionaire-founded artificial intelligence company working with Israel — is a Canadian company.

Eighty-two per cent said Canada should “defend itself without relying too heavily on other countries,” the poll found. U.S. companies, including those operating subsidiaries in Canada, were the least favoured.

Just like with the majority foreign-owned fossil fuel industry in Alberta, ‘our’ Government will give money to foreign/US corporations and sell it to us (with no questions asked by mainstream media) as ‘sovereignty’. Obviously anyone who thinks the CPC offers something better for working Canadians is delusional

    This article is an opinion piece posing as legitimate news. The criticism is short sighted and problematic. The article serves no purpose beyond pushing a false narrative. Its 100% Anti-Canadian to do the minimum research to blast PW when they have been a Canadian and Québécois institution for the last century.

      Again, no: pointing out concern about whether giving a US-owned company money is good for Canada is, by definition, not anti-Canadian

        It takes two seconds to google PW and realize this is nonsense. Sounds like a bunch of people talk about things they don’t understand rather than deferring to an expert.

        you have no defence beyond, I’m just asking questions
