| Wonder if this is a NAFTA payoff?
Have been hearing that uunder NAFTA rules if a foreign (non-US) company starts a business in the states, then has to fold, they can blame the US and get the feds to pay off all the estimated profits that MIGHT have been made.
Apparently several companies (including a Canadian mortuary firm) have already done this.
Of course all the lawyers that wrote NAFTA are now making money off of it. |

Also a Canadian company (Methanex) that makes MTBE (a toxic gas additive that took the place of lead compounds) is/was suing because California was going to ban MTBE. But the road is not just one way, several US firms decided if they can do it, so can we and filed NAFTA suits on Canada.
All sorts of reasons this may have happened, greed tops the list.

The U.S. employees of Shaw never had the warm and fuzzy feeling that they ever wanted us. Since Shaw purchased the U.S. assets of Moffat a year and a half ago; we were on the auction block, then off; then on again, then off... I don't think NAFTA had anything to do with it. All Shaw has done for its U.S. customers has infuriated them which has driven them to DBS. I guess that's acceptable in Canada, since Shaw has a stake in the satellite market there. |
