Depends on which government we're talking about. If you're complaining about the Alberta government that's a little rich considering that many government ventures in the 1980s in different industries were a massive failure and the fact that Alberta has so few 'other' industries to throw money at. If it's the Federal Government compare say Bombadier with Canadian Natural Resources and tell me who gets more 'subsidies.' What about the automakers? They won't even annouce plans to build a particular car in Canada without the government offering to pay for realignment and refurbishment of their facility to build that particular car. And furthermore could you also explain in detail the exact 'breaks' and 'subsidies' that Oil and gas companies get ahead of other industries in Canada?
