admittedly I am as biased as they come being a formel Nortel employee. Chinese government hacking and Huawei hacking are one and the same as the end result is Huawei benefitting from the stolen information. Had Nortel not been hacked they w

Canada does have a stake in the matter as Huawei hacked Nortel to steal their IP and then undercut all their business deals causing nortel to go bankrupt to the detriment of 94,000 employees and every single Canadian that owned just about a
