Conservative leadership candidate Kellie Leitch has said she shares “common interests” with Donald Trump. Kevin O’Leary says he would’ve voted for him.
In an interview with Mark Sutcliffe on 1310 News Friday, the celebrity businessman — who has all but entered the Conservative leadership race — said he’s been very open about his opinion on the president-elect.
“I would’ve voted for Trump,” he said.
He also went on at length about the CBC, which has been targeted for elimination by Leitch and fellow leadership rival, Brad Trost.
“What would you do with the public broadcaster?” Sutcliffe asked.
I just remember that the last election debate I went to the candidates at the podiums were Trudeau/Harper/Mulchair.Not if we remember which Conservatives actually supported Trump. (IE. Doug Ford for one.)
Or two/three, Kevin O’Leary and Kellie Leitch like Donald Trump. See link.
Sorry, I don't understand.......are you suggesting that to be a true populist/feminist that you can't approve corporate takeovers?IMO populist & feminist in tone, corporate in nature.
Just this week or so:
Ottawa approves sale of B.C. retirement-home chain to Chinese group with murky ownership

Bell takeover of MTS gets federal approval

Toss onto that the approval of a couple of pipelines (though those were really there to placate Alberta).
Not aiming this at you...your post just made me want to point out to folks.....I think that there are legitimate concerns about a key component of our health care system, namely retirement homes, increasingly falling under foreign ownership, such that key decisions about the health of our seniors are increasingly being made abroad. I get that, and it is a particular concern when the company on a buying spree has murky ownership in a country not known for its transparency.
Having said all that, Ottawa is limited in what it can do. It can review the transaction in respect of those areas of federal jurisdiction (competition, national security, etc.), and AoD is dead right in his comments on that. In terms of rules about the corporate ownership of retirement homes, and the nationality and concentration of such ownership, that's an issue for the BC government.
