Bombardier lol!!

[the big wheel]

Chuck bombardier didn't even need that subsidy they got which triggered all of this.
And you are right on one thing there is zero point running federally if your just going to sit and scream how bad Quebec is and then end up with every single person out west voting to be the opposition party. And no votes anywhere else in the country.
If Andrew is taking the approach you mentioned then he has a good start at being successful. We all have to give and take but we can't always be giving also.

So you are okay with subsidies as long as it shows benefits in jobs and GDP?

Both Saskpower and Sasktel are public crown corporations. Both have done a good job in keeping rates low and providing a decent service. So government partnership or ownership is not a problem for most in Saskatchewan.

In Alberta early on the government invested heavily in research and development of the oil sands and provided low royalty rates. Was that a good investment when many of the players are foreign owned multinationals?

I think what is at play here is hate for Quebec because of politics. It is not about subsidies to Bombardier because western businesses get subsidies too. It is about petty partisan politics as Quebec like it or not is a political force in Canada. Western far right Conservatives hate Quebec because they are an impediment to their political views and aspirations and have a differing world view.

Politics is about compromise. Andrew Scheer made it clear he wants to move away from the extremists in the party because he can't get elected under that. The far right echo chamber here on Agriville is not representative of much, except an angry bunch who lost the last election and cant get over it. I don't expect much objectivity from an angry mob.

Just to let you know, I have been called a red Tory because I like to call a spade a spade. I have witnessed people of every political stripe call out every party for their trangressions, no favourite here.

Politics is about compromise. Hmm!

Therefore cc. can't be political.

He has indicated he will not compromise.

Let's just leave it that way

all those federal subsidies gone to jobs in the USA. what a mess. I guess this means more federal transfer payments to Quebec for the lost jobs.

So to summarize the Bombardier C Series is now:

European owned
Built in Alabama
Subsidized by Canadian taxpayers

Oh Trudeau.....what a genius. 🙈

What do you expect ? From a guy who has never had a steady job or ever had to worry if a bill would get paid . Like brave said Morneau and Trudeau , they're not like us

I hate subsidies of any kind. But wouldn't you agree they should at least show a benefit?


Or would you rather pay tax and throw it around for no apparent reason?


You really are as bright as a burnt out light bulb...

Why insult people? Why misrepresent what they say? Why do you support politicians that support and subsidize big business, Harper and Paul Martin?

My friend big business is highly subsidized in Canada by the very politicians you vote for.

Do a little research.

Canadians pay hefty $684B bill in business subsidies over 30 years, study shows

As opposed to...?


Voting for those that kill off entire industries?


Quebec gets billions.... They have nothing to show for it.


Canadian taxpayers paid for the C series. No profits or jobs to show for it


Socialism has never will never work. It's a doomed pipe dream.
