The stock of foreign direct investment, including debt, in Canada outside oil and gas rose 4.7 per cent to $704 billion in 2017 — the fastest increase in three years. Investment in the oil and gas sector, on the other hand, fell by the largest amount in at least 17 years — down 12.2 per cent to $120 billion.

More Syrian x-rebels and rent them out as international thugs, drinking straws back being the first move we make with out new found independence.

'National Debt' is now classified as a 'growth industry'?
The global glut is only 5 years old so we are still shutting down companies that will no longer be needed, that about sun it up??

All countries sell debt. Not to the extent that America does....

'Whipping Boy' position needs to be adjusted for inflation and bribery costs are way above the 10% expected rise.

LOL, guess who is landering all their fake fentenyl dealing money using Canadian casinos and real estate?

They are NOT dumb enough to blow that hard stolen dough in the flakey TSX stock market.

They will just buy that up AFTER it crashes...buy on the dips you dig?

Trudeau derangement syndrome

Um...something only his fakenews fans have.

If the mad fukc in the White House dies of a coronary tomorrow, it's back to business as usual for everybody.

He may be a nutter, but we can't deny that Canada's foreign-investment rules are way too protectionist.

Overseas investors who assumed that Canadian firms had preferential access to the US market suddenly find that it's not true.

I'm not denying the fool in the white house is hurting both his country's economy and ours; but even before him, Canada has had excessively protectionist rules and continues to.

In one sense, Trump might be a blessing in disguise for Canada if he provokes Canada to open its borders to more trade and investment.

In fact, here's an irony: most countries that open their borders to immigration open them to trade too. Canada opens its borders to immigration but not to trade. Don't you see something wrong with that? I'm all for welcoming people from other countries, but we need to give them economic opportunities too. How do we do that with closed borders to trade and investment?
