"A whopping 582,000 direct and indirect jobs would be lost in Canada over the next five years if the ailing Big Three US auto makers shut down their Ontario operations, said a study Tuesday.Gee, I wonder how much the Canadian government is kicking in towards the bailout. Oh, it says right here...:
"If output is reduced by 50 percent, 296,000 jobs would be lost nationally, said the 11-page report prepared for the Ontario Manufacturing Council.
"On Friday, the Canadian and Ontario governments reached a tentative deal for a 3.4-billion Canadian dollar (2.8 billion US) bailout of Chrysler, General Motors and Ford's operations in Ontario province."Wow, $2.8 billion, out of what? $50 billion? In other words, the Canadians are basically going to contribute bus fare. Gee, thanks.
As always, I've got a better idea -- how about the so-called "Big Three" pick up and move their entire operations to Canada, along with the union bosses who want to continue living high on the hog while milking the US taxpayer to subsidize their lifestyles. Hell, the Canadians are good Socialists, they won't mind footing the bill for the good of the proletariat. Bon voyage, douchebags.
