So wait a minute,

Company gets bought off to private equity, strips the assets until bankrupsy. The government steps in and wants to support the employees to take the gutted business.

Im all for support of workers owned businesses.

But seems like the government isn't dealing with the root cause here.

End result: Private equity made money. Good business was stripped out of assets. Tax payers to support rebuilding.

Just tax the private equity firms more.

    The easiest way to compare is Irish/Scottish relative to global English. Or better yet, a thick American southern accent compared to a British accent.

    The idioms, the accent etc all have their particularity. Typically quebecers can understand French from France but the opposite is a little more difficult.

    All that being said, just like all languages there's localised variations around quebec. And a trained hear can usually tell the difference between someone from Gatineau, Montréal, quebec, Gaspésie or Lac St-Jean.
