Give each Canadian some money that he can give to the poor struggling business of his choice other than his own each year.

firstly, If they have to give it back to me, then don't take it in the first place.

second, I prefer to buy services or product from businesses, NOT give them money for the hell of it. Businesses are not charities.

Lastly, if businesses were charities, then there is already a system in place called charitable donations. It even has a tax credit associated with it.

They already have gofundme as an ability to give money to random people. Perhaps BB should open a gofundme account.

I would give to my local grocery store. At least that way I'd be subsidizing my food purchases.

I don't know about you guys, but I myself am not a big consumer of Bombardier products so how do I benefit from a subsidy to Bombardier?

Alternatively, how about a transportation voucher that we can each cash in to buy a vehicle, whether a bicycle, a motorcycle, a car, a jet, a transit pass, shoes, or any other means of transportation. If Bombardier is worth anything, then certain some of that money will find itself in Bombardier's hands, right?

Uh, so basically you're saying people should get a tax cut to spend money on anything they want.

That's the way it works best. Rather then Trump tax Americans $7 million and hand their money to Carrier, he could let them keep their money and ask them to support American companies. Socialist Trumpites love the former. Fiscal conservatives like myself prefer the latter
