I dunno, they got an amazing price for the stake of PD they bought. This could turn out to be a boon for the province down the road. A smart investment.
Governments definitely shouldn't run businesses, but I don't see smart investing as a bad thing. I mean, our heritage fund was supposed to be an investment.
I will admit that I don't know a TON about the issue, but looking at how much they got under the closing price, and the fact the company is still viable, makes it seem like this may not be such a bad thing for us.
That said, I'm not big on the current government either. I just didn't think this particular issue was a huge problem.
