I think holding a fire sale for foreign investors, including Americans, and selling off Canada’s critical infrastructure is a bad idea and inconsistent with shoring up our sovereignty.

I think the public should *own* airports and set the terms for how they are operated.
But I don't see the govt having any particular advantage in *operating* the shopping mall and logistics hub that is an airport.
And if I had a hunch, I might expect the private sector would be pretty good at it.

And, I should clarify, I mean private *for profit* operators of the malls-airports.
The sky high fees under the current private not for profit model makes me skeptical of the status quo.

While this figure might ring true for many, it is far from accurate.

Canada's Conservative movement has spent the last decade deliberately making its followers more angry, more conspiratorial, and way, way more online.
The cost of that strategy could be higher than they ever imagined. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/09/09/o...

Pierre Poilievre practises a form of digital-first, anger-driven politics that nearly took him to the pinnacle of Canadian politics. Now it might be about to drag his entire political movement down.
