Funny when it's BC lumber industry, bombardier, cbc, air Canada you don't have an issue. You did have an issue with the auto sector but that's because JT wasn't PM. After what you posted of JT recently I think it's clear you have as big of crush on him as Trumps daughter does. Show me where I said that I think it's ok for these items to receive taxpayer money. CBC is about the only entity I agree with I dare you to try. Like triple dig dare you to try. As for the rest, no. At least when Quebec comes asking for a handout it's for their people not their corporations. How pathetic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhippy Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Just curious. Is anyone actually on board with bailing out corporations in an industry that will just need more money in 3 months, instead of helping the actual people affected by it? I'd much rather commit that money to the people affected and allow these corporations to fly or fold under their own balance sheets 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An industry that will die out. I'm not even sure I'm for the case that if a company wants our money, we get a percentage of said company. And no selling off at a loss just to balance the budget like Harper did with the GM stock we got as part of the 08 bailouts. I'm more for the idea that "bailout" money should go towards infrastructure projects. New roads, rail, alternative energy projects. Let's build for the future, not hang on to the past.

I adore when the clueless say "fact" Still waiting for you to show me where I said giving tax money to anyone of the industries you cited was ok. Having a hard time finding that are ya muffin? 1. The BC NDP did increase BCs debt. Nobody will dispute that, but they also left a surplus when they left office. Most governments in Canada in the 90s suffered via the sustainable forestry act and NAFTA 2. You're not debating US politics but you're also ignoring basic growth markers in a rush to avoid debating US politics but using the US political theatre to try to prove a point 3. Alberta has done nothing more than anyone. All Alberta has done is single source their revenue stream and are now paying for it. Albertas taxpayers though, have done what everyone else in the nation has done. Pay. Their. Taxes. Yet you still don't want to accept that's how equalization works. 4. We is Albertans heh...BC taxpayers did the same as anyone in Alberta. So did Nova Scotians. Quebecers. People from the NWT. Paid their taxes. 5. Giant nonsense, straw man deflection trans canada...meh meh meh meh meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people and companies rethinking their business plans. And rightfully so. The energy sector, mainly oil and gas gave been warned for years about this. It's literally what happened in the 70s and 80s that brought about the NEP and American investment in to soul sourcing of Canadian oil. Businesses need to fly or fail based on their own merits. That's capitalism. Propping up failed business in the backs of taxpayers is a failure on all parts and never ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
