(cid:863) Who owns the forces of production (land, machinery, buildings and technology) in canada? companies, mega organizations, franchises. Mega corporations are exporting resources to other countries, they are saving money on that by things like tax support. It is expanding and making job in other countries, but it is threatening us. There is a lot of competition in capitalism so they will go to other countries to compete. Although it is cheaper for them to go to other places, it is still giving those people in developing countries a way to live and provide for their families. Even though the wages are low, it is still helping the workers.
