      The problem is the Liberals put no clause in to deal with this situation. They cant retroactively make a law against their own stupidity for signing a bad contract, the best they can do is arbitrarily punish them, sending the signal we operate our country not by laws but like North Korea. Companies would need to factor that into their risk metrics.

        Seeing as neither of us know the details, we’ll see.

        But if the money was given to invest here, and they withdraw their investments, even without a specific penalty clause that can be breach of contract and have damages.

        WTFF is this screed? A deal signed before the naziamerican diaper shitter came back? Does our liddle con man have some hurt fee-fees because there was no clause written in for every possible eventuality?

        Go emigrate, ungrate.

          Well I disagree with handing a private corporation money at all, especially when were borrowing to do so, and need that money for social housing.

        of course they did. No one gets federal money without audits and milestones. Focus back on haircuts and socks, because you have no idea how these deal work.

        Oh do you have a copy of the contract on hand? I’d like to see how exactly you found out the details of the arrangement.

    WSJ is a rag.

    The federal indentives to Stellantis and GM were production-based tax incentives. So, the money was allocated for the future, but nothing was actually paid out. What Joly is saying is that if they bail on production, they will see no money. That was the deal from day one.

    There is a myth propagated in media, especially the National Compost, that the government throws away free money without requirements and milestones. My Boomer Conservative neighbours love this idea, but it lives in their head rent free.

      Frankly this exact type of manipulative messaging is why we need to review ownership in Canadian media, I can’t be the only one thinking it’s not great that like 85% of your news is provided by owners who are bound to US interests, you know, the country openly threatening our sovereignty…

    Terrible reporting, no details about these deals, just opinions and posturing.
