I know it works out to $170,000 per job, but they’re “green” jobs, right?
Interesting to see that even the CBC is questioning the wisdom of the idea that no price is too high when it comes to reducing a carbon footprint.
One economics professor tweeted he was “legit astonished” by the investment in Italpasta.
“Do they not understand just how insane this is? That spending north of $170k for *one job* is an embarrassment, not an achievement?” wrote Stephen Gordon of Laval University.
“There is really no underlying economic rationale,” said Robert Gillezeau, assistant professor of economics at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management. “I think those spends are more about politics than they are about economic development.”
$1.7 million for 10 jobs. In a finite market with the most modern facility they will likely drive 15 or 20 other jobs into the unemployment line.
“Italpasta” the typical Liberal italian mafia hookup at play.
Copps would be proud.
Wow, wonder what all those new public servants are costing us?
A few comments.
Is some sources the new anonymous?
CBC questioning Turd Jr. Does that mean it’s on its way out?
And is it really Turd Jr. or Shit Jr? I mean is it the son of Pierre the Turd or the son of Fidel the Shit?
“I think those spends are more about politics than they are about economic development.” That about covers everything this regime has done.
Yeah, Doug Ford has been such a waste. Almost miss Kathleen Wynne. One is dumb, the other dumber.
“assistant professor of economics at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management. “I think those spends are more about politics than they are about economic development.”
News story validation by an ‘assistant professor’ is politically correct.
Italpasta’s exploding demand is because pasta is the cheapest shelf-stable source of calories.
Rice is pretty good, too.
“Do they not understand just how insane this is? That spending north of $170k for *one job* is an embarrassment, not an achievement?”
Couldn’t have said it better
It’s funny that the people complaining about $170k per job are employed by a university doing essentially nothing for $170k per job.
The CBC might be worse.
Shoulda invested in that pickle factory instead.
Mucho cheaper, lesser wacko.
Hold on a minute, wasn’t Volkswagen a recipient of Federal largesse ecently.

Biden is doing essentially the same thing, spending trillions on frivolous programs and then claiming he is growing the economy.
It is not as if they were spending their own money.
“Crank up the printing press, and raise taxes again!”
“Gillezeau says it’s likely the government could probably find a better use of those dollars that would have a bigger impact on economic growth or redistribution.”
The best use would be to pay down debt or cut taxes, or both.
But the government (especially this one) won’t do that.
I said the day it happened: if italpasta is still afloat come next election, Canadians are mostly morons. You should see that label and leave it on the shelf. You should actually see that label and register Christa Freelands budholio in place of the logo. Any company that flirts with the Libranos should be getting a similar kiss of death’.
This all about BUYING VOTES!! PM JT us really good at buying votes…then you have Ford he is the puppet of PM JT. This is all about getting rid of the Middle Income population. YOU WILL OWN NOTHING AND BE HAPPY!! Remember that from JT…China can turn its gov’t around on a dime!! That is all we will have left in our Banks after PM JT gets finished with OUR DEBT each an every Canadian will owe.
PM JT knows shit all about anything. The Liberal party “masterminds” know about buying votes.

VERY STRONG ‘POLITICAL SENSE’. IE THE GREAT VOTE BUY OF THE 20S

Actually Blue, its about completely ELIMINATING ALL Euro-Centric Folks within the Western Hemisphere.
Such was COVID & the ensuing Bio-Weapon. 19,000,000+ to date…and continuing daily.
WE are the ones who created the greatest civilization ever created to date on Planet Earth…..
& Cause we are the ONLY Ones who would fight back AGAINST the NAZI Globalist Filth pushing this de-facto extermination program – ain’t gonna see that in Planet Islam, China, Africa of even India for that matter.
IMO.
Hilarious “you may kiss your bride” photo of turdo and blubber douggie.
The underlying economic rationale is to bankrupt the Nation.
