According to a recent survey by the Canadian-American Committee, a prestigious binational economic research group, the overwhelming majority of U.S.-controlled corporations in Canada have no objection to publishing financial reports, provided that the rules are the same for everyone. The new bill sees to that by extending its compass to all "public" corporations (those trading shares publicly and having more than 50 shareholders), foreign and Canadian alike. In detail, the bill requires corporations to file such data as balance sheets, directors' fees, the nationality of directors and officers, and a rundown on the division of shares between...
...Canadians consulted U.S. legislation in drafting the bill, and by and large, it establishes no more exacting standards than those which most U.S. states set for the companies they charter or which U.S. federal law sets for labor unions. The difference lies in the Canadian measure's avowedly nationalistic intent: to determine whether or not the Canadian branches of U.S. organizations are conducting themselves as good "corporate citizens" of Canada...
Ever since Canada's Prime Minister John Diefenbaker served notice in Parliament last November that his Tory government would seek legislation requiring "Canadianization" of foreign-controlled corporations in Canada, U.S. executives have uneasily wondered precisely what he had in mind.

Last week Canadian college students from Nova Scotia to British Columbia were indefatigably mounting beds on wheels and pushing them over highways, prairies and frozen lakes. The current world's record of 1,000 continuous miles is claimed by a team from Ontario's Queens University, which kept its Simmons rolling day and night...
...annuals, a racing daily and two newspapers-the Sunday People (circ. 5,467,872) and the Daily Herald, a Labor Party voice. Although the Daily Herald's circulation is 1,418,119 it manages to lose about $2,000,000 a year. Last month Fleet Street's Canadian-born Press Lord Roy Thomson, 66, proprietor of 80 papers in seven countries, made an offer to Odhams' board, headed by Sir Christopher Chancellor, longtime (1944-59) general manager of Reuters Ltd., the British press service. Thomson's proposal: an equitable stock exchange that would in effect merge...
