Keep Fairmont Canadian
I was disappointed to read of the planned takeover of Fairmont Hotels & Resorts by Kingdom Hotels and Colony Capital (Caterer, 2 February, page 7).
As a former Fairmont and Canadian Pacific employee, I'm sad to see that a company so steeped in Canadian history and culture is to be bought and taken private by someone with no connection to the country.
