As we said from the moment this idea was first floated: privatizing our airports benefits no one but corporations out to make a profit.

Avi Lewis@avilewis.ca

The government should be protecting our public airports, not selling them off for parts. History is littered with examples of the failures of privatization. It drives up costs for the public, quality suffers, and workers always end up paying the price.

If I wanted to privatize airports to fund millionnaire and billionaire oil and gas projects so they would get even more profits I wouldโ€™ve voted conservative, not liberal Liberal voters didnโ€™t vote Liberal to private size airports to subsidize oil and gas. Thatโ€™s what cpc voters want. #cdnpoli

Do not do this. Airports are a public good.

PM Carney on privatizing airports: "We will look at options for the airports so that they better serve Canadians and so that the capital that is tied up in those airports can be redeployed potentially in other ventures that will grow our economy."

Good to see he's still out there arguing for a National Energy Program. Why else would he be pointing at the Petro-Canada sign? #cdnpoli

Have you seen this yet? This is wrong. Parliament is supposed to be a civic space โ€” the one room in this country where every faith, and no faith, stands on equal ground.

1/ We're in yet another oil shock. It will produce yet another inflation crisis. Another recession is likely. It's a great time to remember that actually...the future is electric! We need to invest in Canadian security, stability, and energy independence. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

Blatantly unconstitutional. And anti-constitutional. What a fucking clown.

Danielle Smith wrote to Mark Carney demanding her say in the appointment of federal judges... And also threatening that if she doesn't get a say, she will withhold funding for new judicial appointments. Because crime and justice or something. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

If Canadians, travelling domestically, want to use the "good" security line at the airport, they need a NEXUS card, even if they aren't going to the US. And they need the blessing of Donald Trump's Homeland Security apparatus to get one. I'm calling on Canada to end this absurdity. #Canada #NEXUS

As if recall campaigns needed more ammo...merry Christmas! We Albertans don't want private services. We want the public services we are supposed to have as Canadians! #ableg

The Breakdown AB@thebreakdownab.bsky.social

Smith finally said it out loud... She doesn't believe that government should be providing any services to Albertans, she believes that private companies should be used universally to provide services. Faith groups should take care of the vulnerable. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

I'm sure there has been a weeks on end 24/7 protest at the White House with at the VERY LEAST tens of thousands of people, loud, screaming, demanding an end to this bullshit, right? I mean, you say you are doing all you can. So at least you're doing this, right? Oh, right. Work. Fuck. You. All.

Trump says heโ€™s going to do this. 25% tariffs on Canadian exports to the U.S., starting a colossally stupid trade war that will devastate both countries. All 3 countries. Watch the video below, which explains how the whole thing is based on lies, disinformation & a lack of understanding of reality.

IMPORTANT: If you live in the United States or Canada, youโ€™ve probably heard Trumpโ€˜s constant claim that the United States is โ€œsubsidizingโ€ Canada. Itโ€™s wrong of course, but hereโ€™s the best explanation Iโ€™ve seen about how & why itโ€™s wrong. PLEASE WATCH & SHARE IT A LOT. Kudos to Andrew Chang & CBC.

Holy crap. I just watched Mark Carney on Jon Stewart and Iโ€™m blown away. He was funny, incredibly likeable, smart and friendly. This is an astoundingly attractive candidate that connects and he gave me Obama vibes. What a PM heโ€™d make. Mark Carney, letโ€™s f*cking go!!!๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ’ฅ youtu.be/zs8St-fF0kE
