I guess that’s ok with some people. Some others try the “create value” route. Not Air Canada though, that much is clear.

When I renew my mortgage and look for options with the smith maneuver, there will be so many Canadian rent seeking preferred shares to invest in. If they’re going to tax the money away from me, might as well try to leverage oligopolies to pay back something useful? :rofl:Quote:

If you have 1000 workers making 80k/yr and paying $16k/yr in income tax, then subsidizing those jobs is surely worth a few hundred millions, right?
Because a "just transition" wouldn't apply to these critical sectors. Gotta maintain the historical status quo for things east of Winnipeg.
