[edit] Sources Needed

This text was added to the main Mitel article without a source cited:

1981 was also the year that Cowpland and Matthews encouraged the government of New Brunswick under premier Richard Hatfield to fund the construction of a semiconductor factory in the rural community of Bouctouche, north of Moncton. The plant never operated and Mitel walked away with the provincial subsidies to fund other projects in Ontario.

I added the sentence about the lawnmowers' being a cover story. This was told to me in 1981 or 1982 by a Mitel employee when I visited the company (representing a large company that was thinking of buying some of its then-new SX-2000 PBXs). We saw the original glass-walled showroom in Kanata. I don't know if anyone ever wanted to put this in writing, for obvious reasons, but it was well known at the time. (MSI was long gone but its parent company, Nortel, was Mitel's competitor.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Isdnip (talk • contribs) 14:24, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
