Description
Richard Starks documents how almost all our major industries are facing what seem to be insurmountable obstacles. Despite soothing words from the government, it is clear that many of our business decisions are made for us by non-Canadians--and their best interests are not always the same as ours.
The figures are grim. Government efforts to help certain industries are hampered because they do not always make good use of this aid. Until we regain control of our economy, the situation can only get worse.
