More or less that is true. I was trying to think the other day what Canadian industries actually create jobs and make money in our economy, and are not on government handouts (like Bombardier).
All the extraction industries of Canada pay for the shield of virtue known as your welfare state. Watched a show about some awesome lumberjacks cutting down some old growth fir and in this country our virtue signalers would have had a cow and then tied themselves to the tree.
