Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

So if Harper says that we were right to walk away from the recent US deal will have be good enough for those doubting Carney on here?

Harper was never a real Conservative! CINO! CINO!
 
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.

I don't know anything about them, but here are the owners of London Heathrow (Heathrow Airport Holdings Ltd.)

 
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.

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.
 
Another backer of the DSRB is in the works.

This might signal that the similar Multilateral Defence Mechanism (UK, Netherlands, Finland, and Poland) may be dead in the water. So more might be hop on the DSRB train in the coming months, and I'm betting the Netherlands is next.

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.
 
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.

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?
