Foreign Capital In Canada
The Wall Street Journal notes large foreign investment in Canada led by United States funds. US sources hold about $3.55 billion, British capital accounts for the balance. Canadians own and control roughly 50 percent of domestic investments. US money dominates pulp and paper, rail, and timber. Western Canada seeks more capital, with BC projects flagged at $16 billion, unlikely to come from Canadians. American firms often place managers on site, while British investors tend to long range control, affecting profitability.
