This week, Sydney-based Techlink Entertainment closed its doors and laid off 50-60 staff. This, despite an $8m equity stake in the company purchased by taxpayer-funded Nova Scotia Business Inc. NSBI loaned Techlink an additional $6m just three years ago.

And, Trade Centre Limited announced the Connecticut-based Centerplate company would be taking over the concessions trade at the Scotiabank Centre, despite involvement in labour disputes at some of the other arenas and stadiums in which they work.
