@cntrtnr: my heterodox leftist opinions lol.

deadpolemics :

there's a great article titled "how to take over a steel mill" on substack by Professor Jennifer Robson you should read. In it, she advocates for the employees to take over ownership of the the Stelco steel mill instead of nationalising it. there are easy ways for the govt to facilitate it too.

SmallsIsSmall :

HEAR! HEAR!

Clarkus :

Jobs and competitiveness…..but not that I agree.

annette :

If you ran for PM, I’m not even sure the qualifications you need, I can guarantee you’d win

brilliantantelope :

Say that again but a bit louder for those at the back

LastredDragonfly34🇨🇦 :

yes yes yes. but if we are going to give big companies money then we should get a vote on the board like a shareholder.

🇨🇦Canadian K :

It’s like choosing the Olympic city

Karma is a cat 🇨🇦 :

I kept saying yes to everything you said. It’s time for a change

Rob 🇨🇦 :

subsidiaries has to stop. as a tax payer we want shares in return or interest payments on the loan.

letsbbetter :

I don't understand the heterodox aspect...

muse4rent 🇨🇦 🇫🇮 :

I would go one step further and include small business.

Sea to Moon :

Ian🇨🇦 :

Amen

USERNAMES_AND_USERNAMES :

Exactly!

bluesky_Minds_mkII :

Say THaT again!

David Mohacsi :

Billions on this shit and $67 million for starving artists and we’re supposed to clap. ( I know federal vs provincial but it’s all the same neoliberal gameplan )

moriarty697 :

I’m not sure I’ll be able to get past you agreeing with the Fraser Institute… LOL. I hate when the worst people get things a little right (though mostly for the wrong reasons).

Green eggs and ham :

The CEOs are just that kid you know in high school that gets an idea to fleece their friends to buy weed and immediately starts the wheels spinning. They got 10 bucks that guys got ,30 that guys got 20 if we get another 40 more we can get so much

Thom :

if the feds want their money back forcibly nationalize the plant and sell it 🤷

Nermal&Friends :

As someone from Niagara Falls I also remember how the Canadian Niagara hotels company got millions of dollars from the Ford government for the training, which was absurd since most of the jobs are shitty crappy dead end minimum wage jobs.

kairound2 :

If we give them all of the money, people will have jobs! Until they don’t!

King 👑 Shaine :

Socialism for the Corporation’s…and Capitalism for the regular people

Atmosphere :

I'm confused. Why you think giving money to private corporations is a left wing thing? On the left, we don't want private corporations to _exist_.

Mulligan🇨🇦 :

The Ontario taxpayers got screwed too

Brampton_Vodden 🇨🇦 :

It's because everyone else is doing it. Corporate welfare is the way. All governments have to stop or it'll keep happening.
