Tax payers employing corporate workers through grants?

We're in BIG trouble.

Wonder how many millions will be thrown away this time.

Hmmm, I wonder the majority of automakers are located in Canada?

$1:

The Canadian government is quietly planning to change the key terms of its Automotive Innovation Fund, which has previously offered automakers low-interest loans to support investments in Canada, according to a report earlier this week in the Toronto Globe & Mail. The government is likely to change the fund from a loan program to a grant program.

My guess is if these companies were located in the Western Provinces there would have been a 276% tariff placed on the parts required to build the vehicles instead of a free gift of taxpayers money.

We used to have a lot of heavy truck production in the west. Kenworth, Freightliner, Interntional, Western Star... no cars though
