Lipstick On Pigs

1. So. $25 million for Lieberal Party coffers. Every example cited by the Canuckistanian Pravda was an absolute joke.

2. If Canada was a real country private investors would be backing these projects.
   If Canada was a real country.

3. Emblematically superficial.

4. Remember the last budget?
   The current prime minister budgeted billions and billions, as Sagan would say, of dollares (sic) to deficit.
   Now he is blowing money left and right and up and down.
   If you read the latest polls, the population is good with that.
   He can spend money where ever he wants.
   It is unbelievable, though it is reality and there is absolutely nothing, like 0, that anybody can do about it.
   He is screwing the country dry.

5. No one can pick commercial winners better than Jacobins and Bolsheviks of the state. They’re so good and confident at it that they mortgage unborn taxpayers for capital. No rewards for success and no penalties for failure – those are the kind of people the Eloi trust and vote for.

6. Any company that needs government subsidies is not a viable business.

   Government never picks winners, only losers to subsidize. When the subsidies end (and even before) the business always goes under and taxpayers are stuck with the bill.

7. Oh no! Not just another pig in lipstick vogue!

   1. Canada is last year’s model …

8. Advanced manufacturing requiring government support is neither advanced nor manufacturing.

   But it is an utterly gorgeous scam.

   It is immoral to let stupid voters keep their money.

   1. But, but, but … your government is ‘doing something’. Isn’t that all the optics needed?

      1. Yes, it’s called looting

   2. Thumbs up!

      PS How do I do emojis in this wordpress thing?

9. “The corporate funding comes through the non-profit Next Generation Manufacturing Canada or NGen, and it is being announced at the world’s largest industrial trade show in Germany called the Hannover Messe.”

   Why is a Liberal Slush Fund announcing the sloshing of funds at Liberal Connected Companies at a trade show in Germany?

   And why do we need to wash it through a “not-for-profit” instead of these companies getting bank or private loans to do their upgrading?

   1. Remember the hydrogen from wind power that Trudeau promised Germany? And to answer your question, because loans have to be paid back.

   2. An industrial trade show … in de-industrializing Germany? How ironic is that?

      BTW … I was just researching a Porsche Cayenne … and was slightly amused to read Porsche PROUDLY claiming the vehicle was built in Bratislava. Too funny. Too sad. For Germany and Germans.

   3. I count about 50 titles in that org chart making that payroll somewhere in the vicinity of $10 -20 million, not counting support staff or expense accounts. Admin costs for this $25,000,000 “investment”, about $40 million easily.
      Best ROI in Canada – a donation to the Lib Party

10. “…unveiling $25 million to support 14 projects…”

    …that were quickly thrown together by some bros of the #Lieberal Partay, because $25 million will buy you twelve decent houses in Toronto and a couple of Porsche Panameras. That seems to be what bros in the know are driving these days.

    That’s the extent of their aspirations, to my eye anyway.

11. Canada: Poor, Stupid and Gay.

12. If the government didn’t over-tax and generally prtovide a hostile environment to business, then it wouldn’t need to give my tax money to business. Oh, this makes me so angry.

13. Yes but who knows about this shovelling of ready cash, apart from the recipients, of course?

    Is that what is meant when new projects are called shovel ready – shovel cash ready.

    The CASH SHOVEL sounds like a new dance, performed at most Liberal Party engagements.

    1. “Hi! I’m Johnny Cash, and this here’s my shovel! A one, an’ a two…”
