    Theft from Taxpayers. That’s where it comes from.

    To be clear.

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

    Yes. Wealth transfer of Canadian taxpayers to rent seeking Air Canada shareholders.

    As long as everyone is fully understanding what’s going on here.
    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?

    The problem with Air Canada is they are just that useless that they still manage to lose money despite all the free taxpayer dollars.

    So I’d advise against that strategy.

    I'd like to know what the appropriate amount of subsidy per job is for each industry sector. Diary, airline and Auto workers are clearly very valuable.

    $0

    Except the subsidy should be negative for those you listed.

    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.

    Huge PR win for AC today.

    Used the government money to pay back non-refundable tickets, which they had no responsibility to do, so they end up looking like the good guy, since WJ still won’t issue refunds. Looks good for AC, with no out of pocket expense, and they are no longer accessing the federal funding.

    Taxpayers funding their own refunds! What a country we live in.

    Meanwhile, westjet already did refunds with their own money(customers money).

    It's less confusing if you just get the info from the direct source. Westjet opened up refunds a good while back.

    Alberta should fly at a discount.
    We know where the money came from.
