Well, I sent a letter to Mr. Flaherty decrying the whole bailout of General Motors and Chrysler, saying they are market failures, let them go with the wind. Mr. Flaherty wrote back stating there was such a major infrastructure of businesses depending on the automotive sector that they couldn't allow it to go down. The labour automatically became a partial owner of the new venture.
We didn't have a chance to get a bailout, even though we had several product lines that were very successful around the world. I guess we're second-class citizens.
