I have been looking at what Carney is doing. Two years ago had this trade war started, we would be in a recession right now. Yet we're not. That's more or less thanks to Carney and his government.
Look, I understand praising a politician is never a popular take and I'm expecting to get further down voted for injecting into these echo chambers genuine counter opinions and arguments that should require some thought but often don't because politicians=bad.
Carney is not privatizing air travel. The Canadian government still owns everything - all the infrastructure. These investors get to lease and run, not own. He also gives great examples of how Canadian funds fund similar arrangements in other countries, and we will use that data of other instances of this to maximize the benefit to Canadians.
You understand Canada is fucked without investment right? America is being forced to pull out of our economy and we need to keep that money flowing in lest our society start to crumble. We don't have this money in Canada as if we did, we wouldn't be at such a high risk for a recession.
It's easy to say "no no no" when your belly is full, but what about for those who aren't in your predicament right now, who are worse off and hungrier? We need to stanch the flow of poverty as a society, and upgrading infrastructure is a wonderful way to create the growth we need through jobs.
Also FYI, yes the people in Gatineau complain about driving to the airport, everyone does.
And to your last point, this is not what the pedo-in-chief is doing down south. He is selling . We are leasing. Will it make the rich richer? Maybe, but it certainly won't make us poorer as there's a net influx of money. Will our airports start getting the updates they need? Yes. That's how the average consumer benefits.
