BlackBerry

The US government leaned on its telcos to de-emphasise BlackBerry because BES wasn't readable by the TLAs. As a result (OK there were other factors but this was a significant one) Canada no longer has a large mobile phone company. So, like the UK, Canada has no protectionist axe to grind in the form of a well known trillion dollar company.
