Canadians get a taste of American medical system with IMS Health buy

Oh the ironyJust another ironic investment made on behalf of Canadians over the years. As far as I know CPP is not investing using an ethical or green model, so there are probably lots of examples of very "un-Canadian" companies receiving investment via CPP.Not sure what your point is,...

IronKey reveals new, ultra-secure D200 USB flash drives
