On June 1, 2009 shortly after GM filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the US, the Premier of Ontario and the Prime Minister of Canada held a news conference.
"The decision announced today is regrettable but necessary," said the PM referring to Canada's 9.5 billion US contribution to General Motor's restructuring. As to whether taxpayers will ever get their money back, Mr. Harper was up-front and told Canadians that we should not expect anything in return for our investment.
Well, at least he is being more honest and honourable than a lot of the financial advisers on Wall Street.

What can we do, Canadian?

You may accept the argument that you are helping fellow Canadians working in the automobile and related industries as well as the country's economic future. If you do not agree with Mr. Harper, there are always options, e.g. express your opinions thru the media; contact you local MPs; and exercise your citizen right in the next federal election.
You really think it will make a different?
