Over the course of week 2 contacting and informing corporate Canada what some know because of complicity and others disbelieving but willing to conduct due diligence, more formal notice was delivered as to what the coalition is intending on achieving since full-court-press diplomacy over almost four years proved inefficacious.
Here is the up-to-date list of all companies contacted since the dissemination loop was expanded to include Canada’s largest corporations. They are identified by the National Post viz. ranking by size and revenue generation.
