Everything Carney says he needs private equity to build and finance has been done in the past by government. Instead of taxing wealth to finance these projects he is instead selling our infrastructure to the wealthy. In the end we own nothing while paying more for it.

A right wing politician talking about their own poverty-stricken past always makes me hate them even more. People who pull up the ladder behind them are so much more disgusting than people who've been rich their whole lives and never even considered that the ladder exists.

Aren't these different things? Leftists don't want things to be more expensive because of value extraction/capitalism. We want the negative externalities priced in and used to mitigate such things.

Privatizing airports is a terrible deal for travellers, workers, and the public purse. Around the world, it has led to higher travel costs, fewer jobs and worse working conditions.

I think holding a fire sale for foreign investors, including Americans, and selling off Canada’s critical infrastructure is a bad idea and inconsistent with shoring up our sovereignty. Just one man’s opinion!

Most people don't know that the best way to make a service more efficient is to bring in a layer of upper management devoted solely to extracting a profit from it. It takes a doctorate in economics to figure that one out.

If you were paying shop-rates I would 3x that cost. But the shop can catch stuff an amateur might miss. Like some preventative maintenance. Still way way less than a car. I drive my car <5000km per year and I spend less on bike maintenance than gas.

I have a Tern GSD I put at least 2200 kms per year on. It's mostly ridden with myself, and two kids. So the total weight gets up around 165 kg. It chews through brake pads as a result. So I do 2-3 brake pad changes per year. I do most of the work myself and spend $3-400/yr. Way less than my car.

Reminder that Carney has cut funding for Natural Resources Canada, Environment and Climate Change Canada, Indigenous and Northern Affairs, and Indigenous Services. And he has rolled back climate protections, abandoned emissions targets, and is building more pipelines.
Carney:

"The wildfire situation has escalated significantly over the last three weeks across the country, and particularly in Northwestern Ontario. 

Thousands of people have been forced to evacuate their communities, not knowing if their homes will survive.  
 
On behalf of Canadians, I want to thank the brave firefighters, first responders, Indigenous and local leaders who are working tirelessly to keep people safe.
 
Our government is in close contact with provincial, municipal, and Indigenous partners and stands ready to provide any additional support as needed."
