What would it cost to clean up Alberta’s oilpatch? “Cleaning up the Alberta oilpatch could cost an estimated $260 billion, internal regulatory documents warn.” -Energy Regulator (AER) in a presentation to a private audience in Calgary Quote from 2018.

Another announcement from the federal government. As usual, it’s hard to pin down exactly what they’re getting at, and exactly how Canadians will benefit or be harmed. Very few of the press’s questions are actually answered. I picked up some sheepish, embarrassed and almost guilty expressions. 1/2

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.

During the election: Carney repeatedly promises only to "cap, not cut" public services. Once elected, that becomes the biggest cuts to public services in decades with 40,000 jobs to be cut. Your problem isn't a lack of obvious examples, it's refusal to be honest about them. shrlnk.ca/s/AwaJA4Bi

When Australia let foreign capital take the kind of control over their airports that Carney is proposing in Canada, Brisbane airport raised its per-passenger fees by more than two thirds, and travellers were squeezed for more than $1.6 billion in extra fees. shrlnk.ca/s/zJo0ZyYu
A picture of airplanes at Sydney airport. Text over the image reads:

Australia "attracted international investment" by privatizing four airports. In the next decade, they charged air travellers $1.6 Billion in extra fees to push up their profits at public expense.

Superimposed over the right hand side of the image is a picture of Canadian prime minister Mark Carney, smiling. A word bubble indicates that he is saying "Let's do Canadian airports next."
