News - Alan - https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/big-business-loan-program-morneau-1.5576585 This is disturbing to me. Trudeau tanked the economy, drove out small business (which he claimed previously were nothing but tax evasion for the super rich), now he’s willing to lend large amounts of cash to large businesses in exchange for equity in the companies. This smacks of the “basic dictatorship” he was so fond of in China.
