I think this is ridicullous, it doesn't change anything if a company is state owned or not. It's jut a regullar company with a president and all, trying to make money, except it get some extra perks and responsibilities.
What? Do you think the president of a country spend his daytime running the country, then at night to go the headquarter of the state company and run that too?
If a country decided to invade another, or just finance terorism, it could just as easily use an independant company as a state owned one. Just take a couple of billions, and hand it to bob the terrorist company owner. And for that matter, they could use a Canadian company, or an American one, a Chinese one, it doesn't matter.
So some terrorisms had money in UAE banks, big deal. I bet they could walk up to any bank in the world and deposite money. As far as I'm aware, when you open up a bank account, there isn't "If you are a terrorism or plan to use this account for terrorism, check here." On the account creation form.
2 terrorists also came from there? Guess what, there are murderers in the USA. Lots of them. Americans are obviously violent and should be shot on sight of the Canadian border, it's obvious they are a huge threat to the security of Canada.
