It's a victory for Canadians!!!

I would not want to be the Federal Minister of Industry, Hon. Jim Prentice's cat tonight. Fluffy is probably hiding under a bed out of the range of Jimmy's size fours.

You see Jimmy is the latest in a string of casualties that are falling out of the ineptitude of the Harper government.

The groundswell of opposition to the sale of MacDonald Detwiller (MDA) to a US defence contractor, ATK, has resulted in the halt of the sale by Jimmy as not being in Canada's (read the Harper government's) best interest.

Three cheers for the triumphant Jimmy. He saved Canada. He saved our technology. He saved our massive investment in technology owned by MDA. He saved the jobs of the people at the Florida Labs in Ottawa (where the real brains behind the MDA assets work for the federal government).

What? What was that comment from the legal beagles at ATK? You have thirty days to comment on Jimmy's decision and, if you don't like it, you can take Canada to a free trade hearing?

We are screwed. Just see:

to know how well we fair in being "protected" by NAFTA.

Say bye, bye to MDA.
