This is disturbing to me. Trudeau tanked the economy, drove out small business (which he claimed previously were nothing but tax evasion for the super rich), now he’s willing to lend large amounts of cash to large businesses in exchange for equity in the companies. This smacks of the “basic dictatorship” he was so fond of in China. (call it my tinfoil hat being too tight, but it’s easier for the liberals to control a few big companies that control most of the workers)

Fort MacMurray is still the best example I can think of in recent memory.
