Port deal worth political risks to presidents past and present

If your writer of the editorial in the February 24, 2006 edition of the ChronicalHerald was in fact writing for a Canadian audience he would have been well advised to look a little deaper through the White House spin deluge on this subject.

 

 

By only giving this an American perspective does a disservice to your Canadian audience and shows an incredible case of myopia.

 

We should be putting the issue of our new Conservative government just sitting by while the American government participates in the sale of control of our port facilities to another foreign country,

 

It has a Canadian connection. It is on the westcoast in the Port of Vancouver. It is called a container facility that will be a part of the deal between Dubai Ports World, and Peninsula and Oriental Steam Navigation Company – best known as P&O. 

 

Shouldn't Canada be having a similar debate over whether we want foreigners owning and managing our ports?

Thank you
