$8 billion in loan guarantees for the TMP is not a subsidy.
$7.4 billion in public financing through the Crown corporation Export Development Canada.
Govt financing rates at 4.45% Prime Rate = Canada's prime rate. The subsidy would be limited to rate differential, not $7.4 billion.

This Isn't Trading. It's Theft from Your Retirement. Someone keeps making perfectly-timed bets right before the President speaks. The victims are your pension, your 401(k), and the country I took an oath to defend.

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

The entire Republican Party has been ignoring Trump's sharp mental decline the same way they've ignored his crimes.
