Mélanie Joly says the move is about creating jobs.

“Why did the prime minister make taxpayers so sad by giving $50 million to a company that made $16 billion off the backs of hard-working Canadians who cannot afford to pay their full balances?” Scheer asked.

Trudeau responded vaguely that his government is focused on investments that help to grow the middle class. “We are going to keep looking at investing in a better future for Canadians, while Conservatives continue to talk about cuts and austerity,” he said. “Having a wasteful government that believes in corporate welfare may not be priceless,” Scheer said, riffing off MasterCard’s slogan. “It turns out it is worth $50 million.”Trudeau gave 50,000,000 of YOUR money to a credit card company?! All the while household debt is on the rise & Canadians are struggling to pay off the balance of their credit card at month's end. Having a wasteful gov't might not be priceless – turns out it’s worth $50 million.

Okay.....Assuming the Cons wouldn’t give them a massive tax break either

Kinda funny, be even funnier if the CPC wasn't bought out by big oil.

Honest question...serious. Would we rather cancel the $50 mil and then have MC announce they will focus on a centre in Seattle instead? Or pay $50 of $560 and have the centre be in Canada. I realize they could also cancel the $50 and MC still builds in Canada....but not likely

Will the $50M give us all 100% Cybersecurity at MasterCard

Well it should be in cityofcalgary if you are looking to create jobs!

Funny, but ever met a Tory who didnt ❤ a huge oil subsidy to a highly profitable Carbon Major? Oh that's different 🙄

Only a liberal would defend this one

Baah. Its simple someone is a buddy buddy with some Liberal mucky muck!

Conservatives: More jobs! Liberals: Here you go! C: Disgraceful! You are wasting taxpayer money on massive corporations with giant profits L: What’s your plan then? C: Pipelines for oil companies

Of course they do!
