One Conservative MP, speaking on condition he not be named, said the sale had raised a surprising backlash among Canadians, who saw it as a point of pride being peddled to the United States – which might possibly use it against Canada's claim to Arctic waters.
Going to stick with your party, or your idealistic views of globalism?
You are a bit out of date. That was the 30's. Remember Truedeaus NEP?

Thats the definition of protectionism. It isn't any different then the US blocking sales of airlines to foreign investors or a few years back when they were stopping sales of ports.
I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with it but BNs point that it is the type of thing conservatives have railed about in the past is correct.

Considering that everything the Liberals have done since confederation has been subjected to the same treatment its only fair.
Prior to this when it seemed like Harper wasn't interested in halting the sale and the NDP were the usual suspects jumped all over Dion for not taking the lead in preventing it completely ignoring the fact that it was entirely Harpers responsibility. The Liberals got the blame for not opposing something that a) was Harpers responsibility and b) isn't supported unilaterally.
