Not private ownership BUT private investment. Not exactly sure what that means as yet BUT the asset and the land DOES not change ownership.

Lie, allow MANAGEMENT, not ownership.

This is a disgrace. The not for profit model has been a disaster of high capital projects funded by passengers. Now there will be extraction of profits, worse capital investment and worse service.

I'm sure this will result in faster, better services and lower costs to the public... I can't even type that with a straight face.

every bad thing that the BC Liberals and the Harper Conservatives have done in the past, Carney wants to do the bigger and more irreversible version of it i expect ~10% of the population to die prematurely from the results over the next 10 years

More half truths from the Toronto Star. Canada will maintain ownership of the land, and use the proceeds from these sales to improve regional airports across the country.

I guess the US didn't need to annex Canada to turn them into a neoliberal shit hole.

It’s private investment in aspects of airport operations. Says so in your article. Lazy, misleading headline. Do better!!!

Privatization will add a profit seeking layer. It will drive down wages and cut corners in order to funnel more money to "investors". What's the point?

Private ownership of public infrastructure is a bad idea.

The #cdnmedia should be ashamed of themselves. Their inflammatory headlines are a gross distortion of what’s being proposed under the concept of “Ownership”. #cdnpoli

lol fucking liberals man...

Awesome stuff, way to strengthen our sovereignty by letting corporations run everything 🫡

This is the list of all federal MPs, including contact info: www.ourcommons.ca/en/contact-us And this is the official petition to stop the sale of Canada's airports: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... #cdnpoli

Nope don't like this

@mark-carney.bsky.social I hope you’re planning to increase oversight and taxes on big business as you support them to grow. Otherwise in our drive to greater economic independence we risk becoming the capitalist monster south of the border that threatens us.

The problem really is that Canada and others feel like they have to bolster private domestic business in light of the tariffs and threats to sovereignty, which risks creating more wealth inequity and the problems in the US, if regulation doesn’t increase as well.

Not everything needs to be privatized and ruined for shareholder profit.

I agree, we should retain ownership of all public properties. Selling off public assets has never turned out well in the long run.

Read the article. The government is proposing doing it under the private concession model, where the land continues to be owned by the federal government.

Trust ownership in the hands of a few or in the hands of many? But it always comes down to who can you trust.

I believe this is the one to which you're referring: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/EN...

i just signed the petition. we do what we can to protect Canada from within as well as from without.

Ask Ontario how this worked out for the 407. Don’t be silly, he is selling us out.

Privatization is fascist. The LPC are a fascist party.

Over our dead bodies…

$10 luggage carts.

Blatant crimes, complicity, & corruption in both 🇨🇦🇺🇸, including cross-border. But we’re supposed to accept the egregious because someone described it all “politely” bsky.app/profile/john...

This is misleading. The Federal Government still owns it. It’s private investment through concessions

I do not like this.

part of the bad also rots our brains, cuts education, makes media beholden to corporate interests, so really i don't see a way out of this (but would love to be proven wrong before i die)

Privatization? In 2026?

i think this should be mandatory reading before anyone comments on this again en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundle_...

Asshole move. YVR is about to be run just like BC Ferries... Possibly worse.

This sucks in a major, shitty way. This guy is taking advantage of his political capital to shove the worst privatization plans down the country's throat. This never, ever, EVER works out for the consumer. It's the 407 x 1000

He's selling us off for parts *just like Trump* but no one comments on it. Our own naked emperor

Privatizing is always the wrong move

No problem. UK airports are privately owned and the concessions on offer are much more varied with cheap options available. You have to pay $25 for a drink at Pearson.

Well that's dumb and pointless drain on our economy

😡😡😡😡

Great. Why not privatise the highway that takes you to Pearson too? Oh wait, Ontario did that to the 407 and it worked out brilliantly...exorbitant user fees going to a foreign company under a contract that ends in 2098. So much winning.

canada loves a long term problem caused by a short term solution.

This is a Conservative government

This is disgusting. Carney wants to strip this country for parts and sell it all off. Utterly two faced and craven.

It's not necessarily a bad idea... It could free up some capital to invest in other projects. The government can keep regulations in place to ensure consumers don't pay the price. Impose a price cap on airport fees, indexed to inflation with an option for operators to petition for increases.

Lies and the lying liars that tell them. Operating does not equal ownership. Get a fucking thesaurus.
