"In sum, Carney seems to be planning to sell off public infrastructure we need to help fund private infrastructure we don’t—with our money covering the risk, while investors make off with the profits."

Yes, we are ‘ragging the puck’ on our relationship and integration with the USA. One of the other takeaways from this is that if you are a US citizen, and don’t understand what we’re so pissed about in Canada, compare our heroes with yours. We honour endurance, while you idolize ‘winners’.
