Canadian Prime Minister Harper says Canada is a very open economy for foreign investment.
He then added that state-owned enterprises represent `a different kind of player`in foreign investment.
I would like to hear the actual comment to get a sense of the context and turn of phrase but at face value they should scare the people (including me) who think the Canadian government will approve the Petronas and Nexen takeovers. Those two decisions are massive for the near-term direction of the Canadian dollar but it will be at least three weeks before we get an answer.
