Trudeau defends Chinese takeover of Norsa deal
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sought to allay fears as Hytera Communications plans to acquire Norsat International, a Vancouver based maker of radio transceivers used by the US military and NATO partners. The government said the federal review found no significant national security concerns and allowed the deal to proceed. Trudeau stressed that any foreign investment must not pose a national security risk and rejected assurances from agencies that the takeover was safe. The issue fuels debate on security and liberal China trade talks as Canada eyes market access for domestic producers.

Trump name coming off Toronto tower
The Trump International Hotel and Tower in Toronto will drop the Trump name as owner JCF Capital reaches a deal to buy out management contracts. The branding shift reflects how Trump’s politics have hurt demand for luxury properties, a view supported by academics and market observers citing Canada’s differing political climate and a broader pool of luxury options.
