Great vid.

For Canadians, you sure do have Corporate America down to a t.

This video seemed to tie in perfectly with last week's Assessment video.

That's because so much of Corporate America is buying up Canada. Molson isn't even owned by Canadians anymore. Neither is Labatt. They're owned by others. Germans, I think.

And CN has been bought by The States. Along with the HBC, Canada's oldest company. I don't think there's a single Canadian-made, Canadian-owned company left.

Yet America is outsourcing...

Ubisoft is French. Sure they have a branch in Montreal, but the company is French.

I was generalizing. I was saying that in comparison to how many there were, now they're almost all outsourced.

I didn't mean ALL of them.

But to be fair, you ARE right. A&W was bought by a company in Vancouver. But it was originally part of the American chain.
