The Liberals’ move to privatize airport operations is a mistake. Experience shows that adding a profit element can’t help but increase costs and drive cuts to service. And any foreign ownership of critical infrastructure touching our national security is clearly unwise in these times.

In case you didn't know Kiefer Sutherland's grandfather, Tommy Douglas. He pioneered universal public healthcare in Canada, showing that access to medical care could be treated as a right and not a privilege. His vision and political leadership laid the foundation for Canada's healthcare system.
