RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Here is why we need to move Your are correct Francios, not fair to paint with such a large brush. However the numbers don't lie, please see below. You could argue (successfully) that this is old data. My hunch is that it continues. My point to Neptune is that they are entering the Pot space and then of course looking to the government to help subsidise them in this endeavour, once again not pulling up their own socks. Not a very compelling business model and that is what i was saying to Weeble.
My comments have nothing to do with language or culture, i speak the language of $$$.
Didn't mean to offend.
Good luck.

Among the provinces, the 1981–2009 subsidy totals were as follows: Quebec, $115.5 billion; Alberta, $49.9 billion; Ontario, $46.7 billion; British Columbia, $34.5 billion; Saskatchewan, $18.3 billion; Manitoba, $10.5 billion; Nova Scotia, $4.6 billion; Newfoundland and Labrador, $3.1 billion; New Brunswick, $2.4 billion; Prince Edward Island, $1.5 billion. The high subsidies in some provinces such as Ontario and Alberta in the early 2000s are partly a result of reducing electricity and power bills for consumers. The subsidies relate to government-mandated reductions in power bills in the early to mid-2000s. Statistics Canada did not distinguish between “pure” government subsidies to private and government businesses and those of the consumer variety. In Quebec, over the decades, subsidies have increased in almost every year with few exceptions. The lowest year recorded for subsidies was in 1981, at just over $1.7 billion. The highest year was in 2009, with $7.2 billion spent. Quebec has a large number of Crown corporations and is also highly interventionist. Both factors might explain why that province spent $115.5 billion on subsidies to private and government enterprises between 1981 and 2009. According to Statistics Canada, there is no indication that the subsidies were for consumers, but instead were directed towards business. Simply put, Quebec spends a significant amount on subsidies to private and government business.
