We aren't 'communist' in Canada, but we have socialism for the rich.
You and I work our butts off everyday and then our governments (at all levels) take that money and subsidize a multi-billion dollor corporations move to a piece of productive farmland instead of setting proper rules and tax structures that would result in many more of them locating in downtowns and urban areas.
Perhaps the word 'send' isn't the right one to use. But that's what we are doing right now. You and I are paying the fees and in essense we are 'sending' these companies to ridiculous places they wouldn't have dreamt of going to 50 years ago.
Fix the tax and fee structures and a byproduct will be 'sending', 'attracting' -whatever word you want to use - new companies into our cities, not out of them.
