It takes a lot of experience and an Ivy League MBA to figure out which government officials to kiss ass to for a bailout. They deserve that salary and a portion of the bailout as bonus/salary increases.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Very profitable being in the business that rebuilds a country that tears itself down every couple decades. If only SNC lavalin had a weapons division then they would be cooking.

And that Quebec pharmaceutical company making the vaccine plant for COVID-22.
Why is it ill informed commentary to point out that the tax payer is funding CEO bonuses to a private company, when that CEO can't take the company in a direction to earn a profit? It's one thing to subsidize a private company to keep them running a service that benefits a portion of the tax paying public(even though I vehemently oppose this too), but it's another to essentially be subsidizing CEO bonuses that the CEO never really earned.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

The right time to do the right thing is after you did the opposite.

The exec bonuses is just for show. As one of the 38M new shareholders from April, I shake my fist vigorously.

The statement does not include middle managers, whose bonuses made up more than $8 million of the $10-million bonus program, among those who are volunteering (to return) their bonuses
WestJet has pulled out of bailout talks with the Government of Canada.

Following months of negotiations over pandemic relief for the carrier that’s been hit hard by the collapse in air travel, WestJet said Tuesday it’s officially broken off talks with Ottawa.
Sounds like they would rather operate at 1/3 capacity like they are now, than let Justin anywhere near their business. Good for them.

In reality, they probably didn't like the rules being offered, like no bonuses. I honestly hope they just stay small. They were better that way. As soon as they went international, they started sucking.

Agree. They get worse by the day and by the needless update to their app and website. They are so awful now, I'd estimate that they are only 350% better than Air Canada.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
12 years ago, they were 9750% better.

Didn't think ONEX will take a handout given they don't even open their books to the market. Let alone to the government.
If government wants to give them free money it’s borderline silly not to take it
The stupid part is the government bailouts as always. I’m guessing the deal WJ was offered was nowhere near as sweet as what AC got.

I would lol so hard if they moved their headquarters to Ottawa or Toronto over this.
What are Quebecers going to do in protest? Fly WestJet? lol
People need to realize that Quebec and it’s language laws are incredibly toxic for business and have been for decades.
