    That’s a lot of word salad when the important point is that he is granting a monopoly to whichever company buys an airport.

    There is no free market for airports. You can’t choose the best deal or best service among 5 competitors.

    You or Carney can spin it anyway you like but this will be bad for average Canadians.

      Yep, for now. But I believe Carney isn’t looking at the now, but the future of Canada. Yes, these airports will probably get a little worse in some ways, better in others. If you don’t like it, that’s too bad. When you’re older, and Canada has built up its independence, it will be back in Canada hands, upgraded for free, along with the many other airports the money generated from this privatisation will pay for. This is a reasonable compromise and it shows a vision for a future Canada, not just some four year turnaround to get votes.
