People are not content with neoliberal policies with a thick coat of pinkwashing.
Of course the majority is happy that we didn’t elect our own culture warriors and christian nationalists. It’s better than the shitshow down south. But that’s only if you’re already rich and stable.
If you’re poor or don’t have support and backing of a stable family, you’re royally fkd. Cost of living is insane and the Carney liberals are selling off assets for cheap and privatizing everything they can. While stripping workers’ rights and investing more into surveillance.
Our corporate-liberals are paving the way for our right-wing populist clowns.
Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary and Montreal airports are great examples in their crosshairs.
But they won’t sell the land, so opposition can’t technically call it privatization. They just lease it for decades and decades where private corporation decides everything and collects all the revenues.
Historically, these sort of deals by conservative governments are so much worse.
The 407 deal gave up what’s looking like 100 billion in potential revenue, for a one time fee of 3 billion dollars. No cap on fee increases, so we are at %1500 higher rates now or something. Now we have thermae at the waterfront, and the closure of the existing Science center site. We’ll see how much potential revenue is lost there.
This deal retains the land lease revenue I think, and the deal includes stipulation that protects travelers from raised fees.
