Where was Harper's "social responsibility beyond the marketplace" when it came to his shafting of trust investors?

Better yet, where is Harper's proof of tax leakage upon which he based his canard of an argument to defraud income trusts investors out of $35 billion of their life savings?


GM, Chrysler Face To-Do List of Cutting Debt, Jobs

By Jeff Green and Alex Ortolani

Dec. 20 (Bloomberg) -- General Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC, steadied by a $13.4 billion federal lifeline, face a March 31 deadline to slash debt, rework labor contracts and plan for thousands of job cuts or face government-ordered bankruptcy.

The loans announced yesterday by President George W. Bush will provide the government with warrants allowing it to profit from a successful rescue, and seniority over much of the automakers’ debt should the effort fail.

The Canadian units of both automakers will get C$4 billion ($3.3 billion) in government loans from Canada and the province of Ontario and may get more, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said today.

“I cannot rule it out,” the Prime Minister told reporters at a briefing today in Toronto when asked whether he may offer the automakers additional aid. “We have a social responsibility that goes beyond the marketplace.”
