I don’t know anything about New Brunswick but according to Wikipedia, “A powerful corporate concentration of large companies in New Brunswick is owned by the Irving Group of Companies.”
They own all types of companies, most of them heavy industry with lots of pollution, but also lots of media outlets. And also:
“In 2016, the National Observer released an eight-part investigation on the family called House of Irving. It looked at many parts of the businesses including the expansion into Maine, its media monopoly, how they intimidate their critics and issues within the family.“
I’m no Scooby Doo but I think that’s where I’d start my investigation.
This case calls for a hapless student reporter with an old car, bangs and a love for indie music, I believe
Either that or a woman with part of her bra showing that’s a peralegal for famed character actor Brian Cox
Funny coincidence : our prime minister worked 33 years for Irving.
Premier, not prime minister.
Oh it’s no secret to anyone in the maritimes that the Irvings own NB. On reddit people described being contracted to build their bunker.
I think they’re waiting to be eaten.
The Guardian has reported previously that 1,000 pages of internal documents obtained by freedom of information requests showed that early on in the investigation the province’s department of environment and public health units began eagerly exploring the possibility of environmental causes alongside their federal counterparts. But by mid-2021, New Brunswick appeared to have halted the probe with little explanation.
Yuuup
Alright. So let’s assume NB is no longer a province, but rather a state entirely controlled by Irving, in every asset. Can’t vote them out. Can’t chase them away. Can’t legislate against them.
That leaves Canadians (and Americans that care) with the same option that you would target Russia and Israel associated companies: boycott, divest, sanction.
Someone smarter than me tell us what we are aiming at.
