 States hear pitch for cheaper prescription drugs from Canadian companies
The FDA refuses to certify that Canadian drugs are safe, although it has no examples of Canadian drugs causing illness in the U.S. "Eventually, it's going to all get worked out where the FDA can legalize what's already being done," said Hubert Lincecum, deputy undersecretary of the office of group benefits for Louisiana.
The drug companies tried to ease drug safety worries, saying they'll only ship drugs in their original sealed packaging, after they talk to a doctor and only when there's a handwritten prescription.
Canadian drug companies currently sell drugs to thousands of individual Americans, but federal regulators have chosen not to prosecute individuals for breaking the law.

 New Socialist Magazine, War and Imperialism, Canadian Style, By David McNally
While Talisman Energy of Calgary is the Canadian company that has gained the most notoriety in recent years (for its ties to a government that tolerated slavery and used terror against civilians), it is far from an isolated case.
Earlier this year, for instance, a UN panel charged that eight Canadian mining companies are violating international standards in their business activities in the Congo, where three million people have died in civil wars.
As the author of a major study of global firms in Canada put it, “Canadian multinationals are not third-rate imitators, but are often at or near the top of their respective industries.” And these corporations are as exploitative and imperialist as can be.

 Peru: Regional Strike Against Canadian Mining Companies
The strike was called to protest the activities of two Canadian mining companies, "whose gold production at the Pierina mine is valued at $50 billion, while the surrounding areas get no benefit at all," according to Rios.
The Canadian companies Barrick-Misquichilca and Antamina are under fire for not paying adequate taxes to benefit the region; for failing to hire local people -- only five of the total 870 workers on the companies' payroll are from Huaraz; and for using cyanide in their production process.
The office of the Ancash Prefecture said in a communique that the army presence in Huaraz was necessary "in the face of the abuses committed by groups headed by mayor Waldo Rios, which caused damages to property." Police said the disturbances left five people injured and 10 arrested.

An increasing number of Canadian technology companies are incorporating as U.S. entities because of the federal government's regressive tax policy on cross-border mergers, the Canadian e-Business Opportunities Roundtable says in its submission.
But if the deal involves the Canadian company receiving shares of the U.S. company, it triggers capital gains taxes that must be paid immediately.
Another solution frequently employed to avoid paying tax is to create a new Canadian company as a wholly owned subsidiary of the merged U.S. firm, and issue special exchangeable shares to the Canadian shareholders.

Approaches varied, with many companies opting for a centralized risk management function or a mix of a centralized and decentralized function, and some elevating the function to a risk management committee at the board level.

Nearly half of all Canadian companies have registered dot-ca domain names, according to Impact Research, which attributes the growing percentage to the trust and geographical reference associated with the dot-ca extension.
The study noted that 45 per cent of Canadian companies have registered at least one URL with a dot-ca extension, and that dot-ca registrations account for 38 per cent of all Web sites registered by Canadian companies.
While the Impact Research study showed the dot-ca suffix is preferred by smaller Canadian companies that focus on the domestic market and the dot-com suffix by larger, more international firms, Brulotte insisted the dot-ca is overall a better tool for reaching Canadians.

The staffing company's net Canada employment outlook, which subtracts the percentage of Canadian companies that plan to fire workers from the share that expect to add jobs, fell 1 percentage point to 18 percent.
