If you want gov't dollars you play the game. While I respect the moral absolutism of the anti-subsidy boy scouts (and generally don't like subsidies either, myself) I'll gladly vote yes to repatriate a big chunk of transfer payment dollars.
Edit: -1 to Nenshi & Co., however, for this playing out in public at the 11th hour. That kind of arrangement was what needed to happen, but weeks ago without the brinksmanship.
