Canadians can’t afford rent. Food bank use is at a record high. Wages are stagnant while the rich are getting richer than ever before. Of all the people who could use this kind of federal support right now, venture capitalists are at the bottom of that list. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

OH MY GOD PEOPLE THINK THIS BECAUSE THE GLOBE AND MAIL’S BUSINESS COLUMNIST MADE A VIDEO, ON THE GLOBE’S OFFICIAL ACCOUNT, MAKING THE SAME MISTAKE AND IT’S STILL UP!!!!!! UNCORRECTED!!!! CONCESSION AGREEMENT DOESNT JUST MEAN FOOD OH MY GOD THIS IS OUR MOST “SERIOUS” BUSINESS MEDIA BRO 😭😭😭😭

Oh my god. People saw the term “concession agreement” (basically a lease) and keep angrily telling me it’s just food and shops being privatized at airports. Concession has multiple meanings. Investors would manage the entire airport. Like highway 407.

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

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.

Oh is the Shopify CEO like.......STUPID stupid? The system he called "good" suggested we hand out votes based on income tax paid. Does THE HEAD OF AN E-COMMERCE GIANT think sales taxes are income taxes?? Someone take away this man's phone!!!

The multi-billionaire CEO of Shopify thinks a “good system” is one where the poor don’t get to vote in elections and the rich get to vote several times over. I wish I was kidding. Oh, and guess what? This guy and his pals are trying to influence our politics -- and they're arguably succeeding:
