How is it not treason for POTUS to invite Iran to bomb LA or San Diego? And no, it was not a joke. He’d actually love it if California were destroyed.

In the end, privatizing Canada’s airports doesn’t solve any of the problems we face. Instead it risks making air travel even more expensive and less pleasant. And Canadians would be giving up democratic control over a critical public asset for generations. www.thespec.com/opinion/cont...
