There is no lie. The government knew, didn't like it, but in the end likely legally couldn't stop it. Carney had no input into the details of the origional deal for money, and is now going to have to go through a legal process to get it back.

Meanwhile at least part of the plant is going to be used and employees will come back.

Do you expect the government to force Stellantis to reopen and make cars? Please tell exactly what would satisfy you here.

I'm betting nothing

I wasn't referencing the deal and/or who cut it, I was referring to your head-over-heals, moonstruck, rapture with corporate CEO-type leaders of government who pile on hundreds upon hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars onto debt pile in servitude not of their citizens, but of their private sector, corporate buddies and masters.

My understanding is there was a meeting today. And I assume that the outcome of that meeting will set the next steps. Unfortunately this is considered a civil matter. So the process will take time.

Apparently it was Stellantis that leaked the government was meeting with them. In order to Muddy the waters. So instead of going off half cocked you may want to wait a bit and not be embarrassed. Again.
 
The govt is in talks with Roshel on defence as well, so its not clear what they were discussing. That said the govt can't claim it was blindsided by this. Its could quite easily have said to Roshel if you buy the plant it will bring into question your financial stability with regard to future procurement opportunities.

Carney is a bold faced liar.. big comments from him about it being a surprise and a horrible thing they are doing .. meanwhile knew all about the sale and basically did nothing. Like he does with everything. Then when shit hits the fan leaves the country to go visit with his buddies in Ireland. Let him stay there

Depends. Did Stellantis string him along? Not a great look but what you are implying is something far different.
