Nortel failed because of the Dotcom bubble burst that exposed their cooked books. Blackberry didn't go the full screen route, which ironically is why they are loved by business users. But that means less personal users. Bombardier is simply inefficient (or corrupt).

There are plenty of other big Canadian brands that are still around and growing like arcteryx and Lululemon, sure they are in clothing and not high tech, but instantpot is Canadian!

The problem with Canada is the people They are too insular they only want know North America and couldn't care for the rest of the world They don't have curiosity about the world They think only north America exist and the rest of the world is irrelevant.

Contrast that with German or Germany They are curious about the world When I travel widely in SEA back when I see german every where . In my student year in Europe I stay in Studenten Heim and we have nightly debate with young German. Nordic, Austrian about anything, world politic, China anything They are curious want to learn more. Latter in life when they entered career they will go out in the world try to sell their product.

Canada has one of the largest Asian population but they don't take advantage of it Most of the senior position are reserved for Anglo Saxon specially england They have colonial mentality. Asian are shut off from upper management or position. No wonder most of their company go down the tube

Technically they are as good as anybody They have good university, U of T, Waterloo, McGill, but very timid in making decision. They were once ahead in nuclear industry with their CANDU excellent lab Chalk river laboratory AECL,

Hopeless really most of their talented people left and filled up with immigrant from poor country and they have Cadillac welfare system. NO money no problem you are refugee you are entitled to apartment and child support ok. Then make more babies we will provide with more support . All paid by tax payer with one of the highest rate of income tax It is liberal go mad
Aerospace De havilland, Canadair,AECL, Nortel, Blackberry etc go down the drain

China Takes Countermeasures Against US Suppression of Chinese Media Organizations in the United States

2020-03-18
[Font: Tai Zhong small ] Print
In recent years, the U.S. government has unreasonably restricted the normal news reporting activities of Chinese media agencies and personnel in the United States, making it unreasonably difficult, and has escalated discrimination and political suppression against the Chinese media, especially in December 2018, the United States requested relevant Chinese media agencies in the United States. Registered as a "foreign agent", and listed five Chinese media agencies in the United States as "foreign missions" in February 2020, and then adopted a number of restrictions on the above five media agencies in the United States, disguising a large number of Chinese media in disguise reporter. China immediately made solemn representations to the United States on the US's wrongdoing, expressed its firm opposition and strong condemnation, and stressed that it reserves the right to respond and take measures.
The Chinese side announces that starting from today:
First, the five Chinese media agencies in the United States are listed as "foreign missions" against the United States. The Chinese counterparts have called for "Voice of America", "New York Times", "Wall Street Journal", "Washington Post", and "Time" 》 The five US media offices in China report to China all written materials such as staff, finances, operations, and real estate information in China.
Second, in response to the significant reduction in the United States and the actual deportation of employees of Chinese media agencies in the United States, China requires American journalists whose New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post expiry of their press passes before the end of the year to report within four days from today. The Department of Information of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs declares the list and returns the press card within 10 days. In the future, it is not allowed to continue to work as a journalist in the People's Republic of China, including Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions.
Third, in view of the U.S.'s discriminatory restrictions on visas, administrative review, and interviews of Chinese journalists, China will take reciprocal measures against U.S. journalists.
The above-mentioned measures by the Chinese side are totally a necessary counter-reaction to the US side to unreasonably suppress the Chinese media agencies in the United States, which are forced to carry out, and they are completely legitimate defenses. The U.S. approach to the Chinese media is based on Cold War thinking and ideological prejudice. It seriously damages the reputation and image of the Chinese media, seriously affects the normal operation of the Chinese media in the United States, severely disrupts the normal humanities exchanges between China and the United States, and exposes its so-called "self-proclaimed The hypocrisy of "freedom of the press". China urges the United States to immediately change its course and correct mistakes, and stop political suppression and unreasonable restrictions on the Chinese media. If the U.S. insists on doing it alone, adding wrong to wrong, China will surely take further countermeasures.
China's basic national policy of adhering to opening up has not changed, nor will it change. We always welcome media and reporters from various countries to engage in interviews and reports in China in accordance with laws and regulations, and will continue to provide convenience and assistance. What we are opposed to is ideological prejudice against China. We are opposed to making fake news through the so-called freedom of the press. We are opposed to acts that violate journalistic ethics. It is hoped that foreign media and journalists will play an active role in promoting mutual understanding between China and the world.

Well, no surprise here. After what the US did, China responded. As Fu Ying, the former ambassador to the UK said to Pelosy, is the US so afraid of China, it feel the need to expell Chinese journalist legitimately working in the USA?
