$14 Million in Corporate Welfare from PEI Taxpayers

The secret loan deal revealed after the election amounts to corporate welfare for Irving Oil
Fourteen million dollars so an energy project based on swamp gas can be undertaken, oh and they also said not to worry about existing environmental protection rules. The ironic part is that Irving is an energy company, and will be getting money to develop biogas energy. What if Irving funded the biogas project without government money - that is my what if.

What if they didn't kill right whales for decades, then claim a victory when they finally decide to stop killing them for now. Taking credit for doing the right thing after years of pushing the whales to extinction, that is spin.
I guess they could have kept colliding with whales, so some credit is due. Stupid whales, why didn't they get out of the way!

"We've loaned money to Cavendish, to EastIsle Shipyard, to the box plant before, Master Packaging," said Binns.

If the Cavendish Farms biogas deal is so great why didn't it get announced until after the election? Because corporate handouts and biogas stink. Binns knows it or he would have been putting it out there like a new school announcement. What if corporations used their own money to fund biogas projects in PEI? That would make them leaders. Instead they negotiated in secret and brought the province in so the blame wouldn't fall on them alone if the project fails.
