Well, now.  Lemme think about what kind of federal AND provincial "aid" packages was offered the good folks (well, at least one company) in Quebec not too long ago,  but long enough that posters might have forgotten already.  Can you say Bombardier?  Talk about 'greedily' accepting. 

And if some of you reading my comment scratch your heads, and wonder, "hey, what's that got to do with the topic?" I might ask the same thing about softwood "aid package": what in heck has that to do with the province's acceptance of a pipeline??
