    This is why Canada needs to partner with reliable countries and not buy and use tech from America. Americans are an extremely untrustworthy people and with the “historic” deal they had with Putin, they are now officially a Russian controlled country.

        Makes some sense when you consider that they just let anyone buy a Canadian company.
