The IMF report said that explicit subsidites have more than doubled since its previous assessment, from $0.5 trillion to $1.3 trillion in 2022.

It’s a bold strategy Cotton, let’s see if it pays off for them

    Here in Alberta, Canada our Premier (moron with the biggest hat) has legitimately given hundred of millions to big oil companies under the guise of well clean up, future contracts, more work etc. etc. If you have a Texas hat, walked up to Danny Smith and stoof there with your lad in your hand (real or not) and demand money because you’re oil, she’ll ask how much and pull out my wallet.

    most of these companies take the money and leave, not doing a fucking thing afterwards. Doing even less, if the money was to help clean up their fucking mess.

    So there’s that.

        Lmao the saddle dome was a clear vote buying scheme. She was even quoted a couple years before stating that Calgary needs to pay for a new arena themselves and not ask the govt for a handout.

        She’s literally spineless and dumber than a brick.
