Who owns Canada's economy?

Prime Minister Mark Carney held an Investment Summit earlier this year where he encouraged foreign investors to invest in Canada by highlighting the country's economic strengths. This initiative has raised questions about the extent of foreign ownership within Canada’s economy. Marc Lee, a senior economist at the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, wrote an article titled “Masters in our own house,” examining how much of Canada’s economy is controlled by foreign entities and discussing the implications of increased foreign investment on national sovereignty. His piece suggests that as Canada seeks more external investment, it could influence who owns significant parts of its businesses and infrastructure.
