It takes two seconds to google PW and realize this is nonsense. Sounds like a bunch of people talk about things they don’t understand rather than deferring to an expert.
you have no defence beyond, I’m just asking questions
This article is an opinion piece posing as legitimate news. The criticism is short sighted and problematic. The article serves no purpose beyond pushing a false narrative. Its 100% Anti-Canadian to do the minimum research to blast PW when they have been a Canadian and Québécois institution for the last century.
Pratt & Whitney is genuinely and substantially Canadian in every way except ultimate ownership. PW does its own research, development, marketing, and manufacturing of its engines. They aren’t taking American designs and building them on Canadian soil, own owns its own product lines outright.
The PT6 turboprop is a workhorse engine and wholly Canadian. The Longueuil facility employs 4500 workers, it’s deeply woven into Quebec’s history. They recently invested $275 million into facility and have long supported Canadian aviation.
It’s shocking how many of the leftists that hate fake news and sensationalism are falling for it readily when they want their own narrative to be true. This is not news, it’s not a grift, it’s not a lie, it’s not a conspiracy. It is fake news and bullshit to push an Anti-Canadian agenda.
People will jump to blame children who bring an immeasurable amount of joy to someone’s life (if they’re ready for them) but we won’t recognize the stagnant wages, unaffordable necessities, and stagnant opportunities that actually make it so hard.
you can do whatever you want with a child at your side. There’s one thing that gets in the way. Money.
5·26 days agoI thought this was a stupid idea, so I punched myself in the tummy with a sucker.
can confirm that it hurts like a motherfucker
you’re 100% wrong. We’re splitting net profits which is calculated after the payment of interest and debt.
Grow up and educate yourself
The frustrating part is the misinformation. If you hate him, go ahead and hate him. We can’t be so blinded by hate that we can’t acknowledge a decent idea.
I hate Trump. These newborn savings accounts are a good idea. Trump still sucks dick.
What about the payment of debt you dunce.
At best you’re willfully ignorant and have poor reading comprehension.
At worst you’re trolling and spreading misinformation.
you can choose your preferred source.
You’re wrong, stop posting misinformation
I think we all have to be very careful of hyperbole and misinformation. I’ve found even in this community some posts will be littered with misinformation. Looks like scary times are here.
No the US gets half the Net Profits which is calculated after the construction costs and debt are paid. For the first few years the net profits will be essentially nothing.
We’re still allowed to set the toll prices but and toll change of 10%+ requires US approval.
The new deal is fine
Ok so here’s the problem. In the politest way possible, you don’t understand the new deal.
Canada owns the 6.4B in costs to construct the bridge. This includes the debt and interest.
Canada WILL RECOUP ALL COSTS TO CONSTRUCT THE BRIDGE. DEBT WILL BE PAID OUT. YOU HAVE TO PAY THE DEBT AND INTEREST IN ORDER TO GET NET PROFITS.
After the debt is paid you get net profits. These net profits will now be split 50/50. Previously, Canada was to receive all of the net profits in an effort for Canada to recoup the costs of construction faster. Then the split would be 50/50.
How?
The ambassador bridge makes like $100M a year in revenue. The cost of the new bridge was $6.4B once you tack on interest there will be hardly any net profits left to split.
I’m sorry, but this argument makes no sense.
Originally, Canada was to receive all profits and have complete power over toll prices until we recouped all our costs. At that point it would be 50/50.
The new deal is fine. I don’t know what the “caving in” narrative is about.
This article is wrong about the deal parameters. Strange
No that’s not what happened.
Carney conceded 50% of net profits because that gives the baby his candy. But net profits is calculated after paying back the construction debt and interest which is wholly owned by Canada. In addition, there’s some sort of economic development fund that’s jointly contributed to by the Canada and US, not a bad idea I guess. The big concession was giving the US veto power over toll changes for the bridge.
Canada has an incredibly long way to go, but I have some questions.
From my experience indigenous women are amazingly stoic during childbirth. It’s impressive to see. I’m not suggesting racial bias and prejudice don’t play a role, but I wonder if they are able to normalize the results for “squeaky wheel gets the grease”.

Ya man this is a bad faith discussion. I can understand why you got banned.
whataboutism is just marginally better than personal insults and arguablY more counter productive.
