    I mean, in fairness, bombardier shed 1000 jobs and the federal government couldn’t show up fast enough with bags of money. Suncor shed 1000 jobs like the same day, not a peep.

    So just to be abundantly clear, the feds absolutely play favourites, but if you think it’s in the west then you haven’t been paying attention.

      I won’t argue the government intervenes with businesses. I’d argue now more than ever Canada having an aerospace company (which almost failed entirely) is a strategic need.

      But I think that’s all tangential to the point at large that this feels like a dumb move.

        I agree that it’s a disgrace that Smith is breaking ranks, I agree that Canada is better together. She’s clearly angling to try and cut her own deals with Trump, which is laying directly into the plan of any fascist playing the divide and conquer game.
