  • Federal government is spending 13 billion on a VW battery plant in St Thomas, Ontario

    That’s 13 billion dollars / 41.million Canadians = $317 per Canadian

    This is projected to employ 3000 people. Canada Post employs 62,300 people.

    Canada post employs 21 X as many people as the VW plant hopes too.

    CP could lose 1 billion a year for 273 years before it would cost the Canadian tax payer as much per job as the VW plant workers do. And that is if the VW plant stays on target and doesn’t end up like North Volt

    I don’t know what the path forward for Canada Post is but the government narrative is whack. If the government is trying to save money why are they spending so much for 3000 jobs and celebrating that as a huge win?

    It seems like they don’t value workers or Canadians just corporate profits at the Canadian tax payers expense.

    We should expect more from our government.
