So, in the latest move the government in Canada wants to sell its airports to investors to "lower costs"
Because private equity never raises prices.  8)

My condolences.  Let the robber barons loose.  And when you complain that they've engaged in short-term profit-taking to the neglect of long-term re-investment, they're response: "Release the hounds!"

Indeed that seems particularly stupid because.. remember when the 407 was privatized? How many people are enjoying those low prices??
Carney trying to benefit some buddies?

Selling the 407 was an abomination just like selling Hydro One.

Well, ofc, he was appointed by the liberal board of directors to get the books back in order after Justin Trudeau, so he is desperate to perform, he doesn't have the best track record, but you can't say he is worse at management than the "idiot king" I'm happy for him on the Marriage tho, i do love weddings

Yk, maybe he has a passport, but he's lived elsewhere and all his investments are in other countries, he doesn't even have the financial motive for Canada to succeed
