Re: Don't buy US kit
@Trevor_Pott - Guess what story popped up in the Globe and Mail today?
NSA trying to map Rogers, RBC communications traffic, leak shows

The NSA has been hacking into RBC (Royal Bank of Canada - Canada's largest bank) and Rogers (one of Canada's largest communications companies). Oh, and into Rolls Royce (giant UK aero engine manufacturer) and Rio Tinto (giant UK mining company). And that's just a selection of companies beginning with "R". That's a pretty good cross section of major multi-nationals who compete with American companies.
Now I'm waiting for our usual AC commentard to tell us how it's vital for the US to hack into Canadian banks and British aerospace companies in order to protect the world from terrorism.
