This bailout has nothing to do with the economy. It's all to do with politics. If this was truly about saving jobs, the government should be investing in viable businesses with this money.

Damn straight. We've been sold out by Harper to a protectionist-minded Obama & Co. without even getting any perks back. I read recently that Obama wants Canada to increase its commitment in Afghanistan. The US by and large abdicated its responsibilities in Afghanistan to go chase its tail in Iraq for a few years, now they want us to bolster our troop commitment when we were there shedding blood all along, PLUS help bail out a couple mismanaged, union coddling auto makers. And Harper just says "Yes sir" and ignores Canadian industries like telecomm and the resource sector. Obama could at least take us out to dinner and whisper sweet nothings in our ears first.
