You have it right Brian. The federal taxpayers like us have kept this bankrupt company afloat for years to win the liberal vote in Quebec and elswhere. Look what they have done to Toronto with the streetcar order. Bonuses for the execs for what. The stock is in the red and the favoured children have twice the voting votes per share.
i wonder what altitude it was at for this?
been tryin to find this but so far naught. Good question though. My guess is mid to upper 30's with colder than standard temps.
WOW 995
