The argument is without the restrictions on telecomms, American companies would just swoop in, take over, and we’d be left without any good corporate office jobs, just the lowest level jobs. There’s probably also some consideration given to telecomms as strategic industries that shouldn’t be in the hands of foreign owners.
I hate Canada’s telecomms as much as anyone, and I don’t necessarily buy all that. But those are the arguments.
