Prime Minister Carney is well-liked by Davos, the EU etc. because he is a "neo-liberal" like Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Regan, Brian Mulrooney, et al. Taxes were paid to build the airports and now they will be sold for far less than was invested in them. -> Capitalism tends to monopoly.

Great! The more expensive flying gets, the less people will fly. The less people fly, the less GHG's emitted. Sounds like a win to me.
