No question about it CD, it's a smokescreen because they'll hand out billion$ to AC. Better to let AC go under and let a real businessman pick up the assets to make it work. Won't happen though, because the AC brass have always been generous with their contributions to the Natural Ruling Party. Same with the Apotex drug deal- Apotex management knew that accepting the order was a naked act of theft but counted on the pols they bought (they bankrolled the Liberals after Mulroney revoked their licence to steal) to let it slide.
