GM shares a missed chance

Re Ontario sells GM shares for $1.1B, Feb. 4 Once again, the short-sighted become myopic when someone hands them a cheque. Instead of making the responsible decision to control an outlandish spending habit and reduce onerous debt to shore up our precarious credit standing after selling our remaining $1.1 billion in GM shares at a loss, our provincial government announced they will just spend it. When will they ever learn?
