Its useless to throw money into forestry and mining when purchasing is down across the board. Whats this Stimulus basically going to be? Lets pay the workers to stay home. Plus I can tell you now, if you take away the corporate tax breaks in a shaky environment, how many international companies with offices in Canada are going to just shut thier doors because there's no advantage to operating up here any more.

A likely stimulus plan would be compromised primarily of infrastructure spending. This would create jobs and create a tangible benefit for our future as well. This is exactly what Obama will be implementing in the US. If this stimulus plan has anything to do with the auto industry, that would be disgusting, and I would then agree with you.
It's really hard to say without knowing the details of this stimulus package. It would be prudent for the country to know and understand that before the GG allows any sort of coalition government.
