Anything that is a natural monopoly and acts like a utility should belong to the state IMO.
Yep. Lack of competition means you get to be a crown corp now.
No fucking shit. Privatization has never done shit except extracting more money for less services.
Well that’s a couple days old I guess. It’s since been confirmed that they do plan to sell off some airports. No doubt it will suck for users of Canadian airports. I hate airports, so kind of have mixed feelings on this one.
Dunno about the other airports, but what makes it particularly idiotic at YVR is that a lot of extra construction has been happening over the last few years (parking garages it would appear?). And you just know that any private owner will make parking costs sky high and government will see fuckall profit from that investment. Sure they could make very specific contracts with private owner about that, but this is government we’re talking about, buddy of a buddy will be raking it in.
Edit some ragespelling
yea but when the US invades Canada they would basically be stealing from themselves. it’s brilliant.
