I've always thought that the catchy phrase, "there's lies, damn lies, and then there's statistics" is a bit too dumbed down for what it's trying to say, but sometimes we just need to dig a bit for that additional nuance. Here's one of those digs for you. #uspoli #cdnpoli #productivity

The provincial UCP government has ruined healthcare, underfunded public education, shamelessly promoted rapid population growth without building the hospitals or classrooms to handle it. Now they want to scapegoat immigrants for all of it. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #NoToTheNine

Infographic titled “IMMIGRANTS ARE PART OF THE SOLUTION - THE FACTS.” Four facts state that newcomers make up 23% of Canada’s construction workforce, including 20% of roofers and 16% of electricians; immigrants make up 25% of registered nurses and 37% of physicians across Canada; 90% of immigrants file income taxes in their first year; and recent immigrants contribute over $5 billion annually in Alberta taxes. Colourful sharpened pencils line the bottom of the graphic, representing the diverse contributions of immigrants to Canadian society.

1. Some facts to consider amongst the swarming misinformation. (Perhaps Lewis should learn how airports currently operate?). What Carney is considering involves 4 airports that are already run by forms of PPP. Private airlines & private food services already employ most of the workers. #cdnpoli

NDP leader blasts Carney's airport
NDP Leader Avi Lewis at a news conference in Ottawa on April 30. (Spencer Colby/The Canadian Press)
NDP Leader Avi Lewis has come out swinging against Carney's plan for private investment in airports, saying the proposal "would be a disastrous deal for travellers, workers and the public purse."
"Canadian airports already support hundreds of thousands of jobs, yet workers are already dealing with contract-flipping, insecure employment and staffing shortages. Handing these critical services to profit-driven owners would put even more pressure on working conditions and safety," Lewis said in a statement.
"The alternative to privatizing our airports is very simple: don't do it."

Canada seeking private investment for 4 large airports, Carney says

Prime Minister Mark Carney announced a plan Tuesday to seek investment to 'unlock' the value of Canada's four largest airports. Carney, speaking at a major investment summit, provided few specifics but said the government would retain ownership of underlying land and assets.
Vancouver International Airport (YVR) says it's open to explore how private investment could support its operations after Carney announced plans to allow privatization in Canada's four largest airports through long-term concession agreements.
