What everyone seems to be missing in this, and it's fuelling their "end is nigh!" position is: First: For profit businesses react to market pressure, if they aren't attracting flights because fee's are too high, they'll lower them, flying isn't a necessity for most people, it's not like Health Care, which is something everyone needs eventually and…

🟠 UPDATE Canada Pursues EU Partnership Amid US Trade Tensions Prime Minister Mark Carney is pitching Canada to global investors managing over $120 trillion at a Toronto summit, specifically seeking C$1 trillion in investment to reduce economic dependence on the US. 📰 https://www. msn.com/en-us/news/other/carne…

The study found that runway fees, but not passenger fees , increase after PE ownership. This is done to incentivize airlines to operate larger aircraft and more efficient flights. That's what drives the huge improvements in passengers per flight and the huge reduction in flight cancellations. However, the study does not establish a link between…

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is welcoming global investors to Toronto this week in the hopes of luring investments for projects he says are key to steering Canada's economy through a trade war with the U.S. https://www. japantimes.co.jp/business/2026 /09/15/carney-us-canada-global-investment/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon # business…

You don’t know what an airport operator is and are making shit up. There are 5-7 different fees levied on each flight that departs or arrives from an airport like Pearson, all of which are set by and paid to the airport operator. You’ve got landing fees, apron fees, deicing fees, bridge fees, wheelchair fees, all being covered directly or in…

Look I’m a progressive voted for a NDP a few times but this is the fundamental problem….you’re not getting it. Making jobs isn’t a source of revenue….creating social programs (which are necessary) are not a source of revenue. We need to do those things but we also need to increase GDP to pay for those things….the only way you can do that is by…

Yea this is probably it. Even if he's market cap weighted his US exposure would be 50%+ as is something like VEQT. It's also possible his personal canada home bias needs are less as someone fairly global, having lived abroad for a fair bit. I'd guess he wouldn't have a 25% Canada home bias while living in the UK, and rebalancing could have high…

Running one illfitted candidate in one by-election doesn't mean much. The fact that the greens did as well as they did with such a strong candidate said a lot in such a wealthy area. There is definitely an appetite for something different, it will just take a bigger budget to get the public engaged. There were a lot of people in North Van who…

The site would state if it's been peer reviewed like any other online academic journal, but ok let's move on from this semantic (while important, I think it's derailing the conversation). Why do you think that privatizing public infrastructure is a good thing? Should we have private roads, buses, and subways? How do you stop profiteering when it…
-
Key pieces of public infrastructure like airports SHOULD remain owned and operated by the Canadian federal or provincial government interests for national security and sovereignty reasons. Underrated point. If you own an airport you can siphon info off on everyone going through it, which is almost certainly the true motivation for buying them.

Hungary is a good point. Maybe im just overly cynical but i had no faith when jt ran on it and wasnt surprised at all when it went nowhere But you could be right. I hope you are, even though I feel like we wont see it
-
Can we look at other countries that defy your prediction? Yes we can: London Heathrow (Heathrow Airport Holdings), London Gatwick (Global Infrastructure Partners/VINCI), London Stansted, Manchester, and Edinburgh?
-
That’s a misleading headline. The federal government leases space to investors within the airport. They are not selling the airports themselves. Like a mall that leases space to a retailer isn’t selling the mall.

Everything I've looked up myself or even heard about always suggested travel via train is hugely expensive, can you tell me more? I've always wanted to take a long train ride, like in the various cars, you know?

I think there's a group of their core voters that actually like the equity card thing though? Its very strange to me but it seems like part of the population does lean into that weird ess

It’s pretty obvious that you are the person they were appealing to with this stunt, so that’s probably why you’re not understanding why most other people find it objectionable
-
Of course it's just fear-mongering with absolutely no logical basis. Otherwise, it would require critical thought, something that a large percentage of our population lacks.

Just yesterday, the post on this meeting was met with comments of how concerned people were. Now that the decision is made, watch all the posts glorifying the decision!
-
That’s simply not true. We have all the money we need to develop these projects. The problem is the litigation and pushback these projects get when they get approved.
-
Did you read the article Do you have your own source as to what BS you spouted. You can’t. “The Canadian government will still own the land and assets”
-
We love monopolies and oligopolies in Canada. That's why everything is so expensive as it creates zero competition and collusion.

Don't give DOFO any ideas. I don't want dynamic pricing based on how busy the airport is and how far of a walk it is to my gate
