Good god, literal majority of Quebecers support the LPC.
I don't see it. I see long-term, passive asset-holding investors being the type to own an airport, like pension funds. The likes of Rogers like to both own things and run things.Welcome to the Rogers international airport.

Looks like one of the criticisms of that model is the risk of increased fares for fliers due to the need to generate returns for investors.
You mean air canada can get higher?Yeah, I haven’t heard good things about where this happened elsewhere. Usually, privatized airports = higher airfares.
goes without saying. If the current owners are making X dollars within the current structure they are going to rent out the facility for at least X otherwise there is no advantage to the change. The lessor therefore has to charge X + to make a profit. So all the tenants within the property have to come up with the difference. We are screwed again.Looks like one of the criticisms of that model is the risk of increased fares for fliers due to the need to generate returns for investors.
Which might lead to more airlines heading to nearby, cheaper airports (Stanstead instead of Heathrow, for example). It’ll be interesting to see how it unfolds.Looks like one of the criticisms of that model is the risk of increased fares for fliers due to the need to generate returns for investors.

There is a reason Saskatchewan has the lowest cellular service costs in Canada.I think a lesson we should have learned is to not sell of important infrastructure to private companies.
Not aware of the ins and outs of what happened in NS with electricity but the issue could have been poorly structured terms done by the Provincial Gov't. Could they have have been 'incompetent' in the ability to negotiate a good deal?I think a lesson we should have learned is to not sell of important infrastructure to private companies.
At least in NS this was done with power, and its screwed the province and its people ever since, with no way out.
