We’re becoming mere tenants in our own country
KAMLOOPS — There was a time when Canadians made things, and owned what we made. I’m thinking about this as we struggle with the sale of Retirement Concepts to a Chinese outfit, and in the wake of the opening of a Trump Tower in Vancouver.
Canadians have brought a lot of wonderful things to this world, the sorts of things we like to bring up whenever there’s a need or an opportunity to display some pride. I’m talking, of course, about the telephone, insulin, the Wonderbra, various sports — that sort of thing.
