It depends. Like we don’t look at Denmark the same way we look at China. All new foreign investment is subject to ICA review federally. (What is β€œnew” can be tricky.)

Dear neighbours: Last year, we had 360 visitors on Halloween and ran out of candy. This year, we prepared 400 treat bags of chocolate bars and candy for trick or treaters.

I know it's raining and chilly, but if you don't visit us at scale this year, I will literally die from eating junk food.

Opinion: Carney wants a China β€˜reset.’ May he avoid the mistakes of the previous four To be sure, the Prime Minister has good reasons to attempt this century’s fifth reset

If Canadian PM Carney manages a β€œreset” with China, it will be the fifth reset in 20 years under three Prime Ministers. Two of those resets have required their own reset, by the same PM, after they went south. Heavy lies the hand on the China Reset button
