Are other people really nervous when Liberals and business collude on the tax-payer dime?
Federal investments doled out through the government’s new infrastructure financing agency may be used to ensure a financial return to private investors if a project fails to generate enough revenues, documents show.
Do Liberals believe Canadians will fall for this twice in fifteen years? Actually, don’t answer that.
– Wonder if it’ll be abused? – Oh yeah: Adscam.
– Wonder if anybody other than their backers will be allowed to participate, so as to receive a payout no matter what? – Oh yeah: Don’t be stupid.
– Wonder why this is necessary in the first place? – Oh yeah: Governmental bankruptcy and thumping great deficits.
BOHICA, Unowho…

The biggest scam of the 21st Century is 3P financing, Public Private Partnerships. It’s the latest version of what they used to call Off Balance Sheet Financing. Conservatives love it – communists love it. Instead of borrowing money at 3 %, they sign a 40 year contract mixing capital and maintenance and pay maybe 6 – 8 % for the privilege. The typical politician can essentially borrow all the money they want for capital projects without increasing the deficit. They are simply paying rent on roads. Why don’t they just do Doug Horner, Alison the Red’s finance minister did? He ran a $4 billion deficit and called it a surplus and the media didn’t even question him on it.
Whenever anyone in government uses the words; “infrastructure” or “investment” … hold onto your wallets. Or more accurately … wave bye bye to every bank note contained therein. Government bureaucrats have focus-group tested those two words as resonating positive images by the taxpayers. So, hiding giant bureaucracies, and wasting $Trillions of tax dollars under the labels “infrastructure” and “investment” is the current government chic.
Look out ! Happy, business-sounding words are being used to create suckers out of all you deplorables, who are too dumb to see through the “rebranding” of these words.
If anyone other that government did that it would be called “money laundering”.
Anyone know the stock ticker symbol for a company that makes brown paper bags ?

We’ve been listening to the Marxist NDP and the Watermelons abuse the English language for months, and, for a short while, will watch them try to fool the useful idiots for awhile, “investing” away. No one should fool themselves, these are expenditures, not investments. But of course, the simple minded media keeps parroting the nonsense.
I know this is in BC , but if you want to watch some political theatre soon, pay attention to BC. Once Christy loses a confidence vote, the Marxists will try to rule, IF they can elect a Speaker. Once a Speaker is elected, the house will be tied, and as unstable as it comes. The Speaker is supposed to be neutral……
….the Watermelon leader wants to change the constitution so a non political official can be Speaker. Typical of leftists, change the rules if they are inconvenient.
Interesting times!
so you associate conservatives with communists when the freaking liberals are the biggest crooks Canada has ever seen.
