No shame indeed. It's just weird that they brag about their best interns leaving for better companies. Usually, the point of having internships is to attract and retain talent.

They are when it comes to tech hiring. By their own admission, they hire from the same pool.
Not sure which employment laws are being skirted here but whatevs.
Defence companies typically also have the same buyers as healthcare providers - governments. Unlike healthcare providers, they're even more limited in who they can sell to. So whatever you're saying applies to them too.

First off, cultural exports are a good thing to have. But also, the CBC does other valuable work. Other people in this thread have also explained this to you but it seems like your mind is made up, so I won't bother.

Last time I checked, Apple or Tesla (or Google) weren't planning to sell liquor in Ontario. They're not competitors.
