Wait he’s actually just going to sell off everything possible to US backed companies and claim it’s being Canada strong isn’t he.
We elected a guy whose spent decades rubbing elbows with American elites and the first thing he does when he gets power is to sell off Canadian assets to said elites lmfao, while pretending to care about a country he hasn’t lived in for decades and the voting public actually fell for it!
We’re in massive amounts of debt as a country, we’re running bigger deficits year after year and our plan is to sell off our assets to cover for the increasing deficits so that at the end we have no assets and still a load of debt
(Actually thinking about it more, he’s 100% going to sell the ports off to China which has *NEVER* gone bad for any country ever)
10 years of Trudeau running the country into the ground, and we elected the guy who’s gonna sell off whatever he can while spending tens of billions on things that have no benefit to the average Canadian.
Good job, LPC.
>Carney and his ministers have acknowledged that proceeds of the sale of Canadian aiport assets could be used to seed [the Canada Strong Fund], with the prime minister adding last week „we are wide open to foreign investment.“
No one voted for this. How does selling off our critical infrastructure to fund another infrastructure fund, which will be used to finance projects that themselves end up in private hands, generate any meaningful return for the common good of Canadians? How does it *possibly* reinforce our safety, security, or sovereignty?
Right now there’s a lot of conjecture and few concrete details on exactly what the government means when they say they want to amalgamate industry. As is usually the case with the Liberals, the proportion is seemingly more relevant than the ideology behind some of their moves.
One pipeline, under government scrutiny, is in the grand scheme of things not as impactful on the environment as is feared. Likewise, a few ports which are used as an investment vehicle for a Canadian-centric fund also mitigates the damage stemming from privatization.
You have to admit, it is pretty impressive how they have successfully threaded the needle between right and left for decades.
Colour me shocked.
The capitalist elite wants to sell off public resources and infrastructure to corporate cronies. This has literally NEVER happened before in history no one could have seen it coming.
BAD IDEA
Ports (including airports) are critical infrastructure. They are essentially monopolies on access to world markets. We talk about controlling our own fate for a change then we are willing to hand over the keys to the country’s doorways to foreign actors?
You’ve got to be kidding me.
There were [a set of sudden, major resignations at the Montreal Port Authority](https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-four-directors-to-leave-montreal-port-authority-board-this-summer/) last month, including the CEO, CFO, and CTO, and a majority of their board is stepping down this summer, too. I wonder if that might be related to this.
Mr. „Elbows up“ is now selling off Canada to foreign interests, most likely to the US.
I can’t believe some of y’all thought this was a reasonable compromise to Pollievre, you got the same exact shit.
took like five minutes for the Liberals to get their majority for them to kick off the privatization.
the 1990s really are back
Funny how everyone wants someone fiscally conservative until said fiscally conservative PM does fiscally conservative actions.
You need money to fund large scale projects, and that either means blowing up the debt or selling assets.
I really wonder if this is the beginning of the end for Carney… He’s been taking a soft stance towards the US, formulating a sketchy gov fund, and now considering selling off Canadian infrastructure.. it’s.. concerning.
Can’t wait for LPC voters, who would have crucified the conservatives for suggesting something like this, to now argue that this is a totally reasonable thing to do!
God awful idea.
We’re still recovering from the Chrétien/Martin privatizations (try shipping anything by rail in this country), this would only add to our supply chain woes.
Dollars to doughnuts they get bought by US, MAGA-affiliated hedgies…
This pisses me off so much. I thought Carney was better than this.
Does privatizing our infrastructure help us in a national defence stance? If foreign money is invested they also need to protect their investments; while Canada builds a strong economic portfolio. Our sovereignty is going to be challenged at some point.
Bad decision and not a good look! All one need to do is look at the YTZ billy bishop airport scenario.
The ford government wants to use Canadian tax payers money to expropriate land to expand a runaway to sell the airport to an American company controlled by an American bank!
What the hell is going on ?
And the Liberals and Mr Carney is on board with this?
Oh and I suppose the proposed sea port that’s planned for Georgian bay …to export all that natural gas and oil is also for sale now?
Privatizing public assets has never benefited Canadians. It does benefit asset management companies like the one Carney used to be at the top of. His mindset is that of a private asset banker and neo-liberal. He’s just as fiscally conservative as Stephen Harper, just not as socially conservative. I could honestly see home leading the Progressive Conservativea of the 1980s and 90s.
