Lenovo pursued BlackBerry bid, but Ottawa rejected idea
- fidotron 13y agoIf only they'd have such concerns about a US company acquiring them . . . Blocking any potential Chinese purchase out of hand is a fantastic way to devalue the company given the way the hardware industry has been moving. There must be smarter ways to handle this.
