away safely to buy our industries and develop our natural resources We end up working for them and because they took the risk they have the right to keep the profits and even take them out of the country Yet government statistics in dicate that we save per cent of what we eain And if we look these savings and invest them in ownership of companies operating in Canada we could buy back all the busines and have everything too per cent Canadianowned You say that you don know ITS YOUR MONEY Rockel anything about investing and shares and things like that Well neither do I as I have never bought
