I dont have one single issue with the deal True North made.

If they lowered the price people would buy more beer.
And I don't know why some of you are taking this as such a black and white issue--you act as though Esquire and Simplicity are raising a posse to run the Chipmans out of town, despite them repeatedly saying that isn't the case.
If you have no problem with millionaires receiving a condition-free annual subisidy of four million dollars in perpetuity, then I submit you as exhibit A in why this province is — broke.
Further to your point: "Oh I get it. They don't work hard. Its just taxpayer subsidies. Thats why they are wealthy and successful. "
If you had bothered to actually read Simplicity's post you would have read:
"Joe Q. Public can't walk into CentreVenture's office and demand millions upon millions in subsidy from the civic taxpayer no matter how good his idea is and who is willing to support him. First you need to have very wealthy and connected friends who you can stock the board with, then you need to install your inept, feckless brother-in-law as the CEO who you can push around, and then you need to ensure you're greasing the mayor and administration so nobody complains too loudly. "
Stop acting like a child, again. And you're enthusiastically supporting a poster (Bluenote) who's had past posts deleted because he's a virulent racist. Dipshits of a feather.
