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.)

Yeah, I haven’t heard good things about where this happened elsewhere. Usually, privatized airports = higher airfares.

You mean air canada can get higher?
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.
Can you explain why for those of us who tend to drag a couple knuckles when we walk?

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?

Just so I understand, this sell off of NS occurred over 30yrs ago, in 1992, correct? It was done in order to lower the debt of NS and was sold for what seems to be the incredibly tiny amount of of 192$ million, which even going back to 1992 seems small.Heres a bunch of links, enjoy.

Sounds right. I wasn't here for it. Just living the fall out.
And the deal guarantees them a percentage (8% I think) return every year regardless of how they perform or their costs.

Look, I'm very much in favour of free markets. However, I believe there are certain core public services that should remain under public control and be accountable to the people:
I also acknowledge that this list blurs the lines between the different levels of government. Some of these responsibilities fall primarily under federal jurisdiction, others under provincial or territorial governments, and others under municipalities. My point is less about which level of government delivers these services and more about the principle that they should remain publicly controlled and accountable to Canadians rather than being privatized.
And no I didn't forget healthcare. I am pro privatization.

- Corrections
- The justice system
- Fire services
- Essential utilities (water, wastewater, waste management, and power)
