Socialism makes me cry. I absolutely agree we shouldn’t be funding these pension shortfalls, but –hey– we just bailed out an entire sector in Ontario, so it’s not like we don’t have precedent.

Also, in the article it mentions $130M that has been given to other companies in similar circumstances so I'm not sure where fedup is coming from at all.

Where is the government for the people who actually do physical labour so they can have a retirement they can enjoy. Wonder what would happen if teachers had their pension slashed would we have to fork out for them to 100%. We might have more money and less taxes if McGinty would spend as if it was his own money. I bet his wife has a budget at home. northern ontario towns have been hit with mill closures all along the north shore of lake superior.
