Sorry, we can't afford all those hospitals and houses and daycares and schools. We don't have any money!

*to an industry who creates serious health complications that raise the costs of hospitals.

Ontario is spending a ton on health care….but it’s building private practices and hiring private staff in our hospitals

When Harper was still in power, the Canadian government had a deal where the oil companies would get subsidized until the oil sands were profitable.
So Canada was giving the oil companies billions.
I'm putting on my tinfoil hat now.
Trudeau rushed to buy the pipeline when it was canceled. Is that because the oil sands can't be profitable without the pipeline, and this deal is bleeding Canada dry?
I just thought of this now, I'd love some criticism if anyone's got some.
