  1. Remember that time… like 10 minutes ago… when we all had to vote Liberal because “otherwise we get the Conservatives.”

    Well… after a day of selling off our airports and slashing corporate taxes on new investment to levels never seen in a modern economy (a $48 Billion gift with no budget line item yet), we end the day, and Carney’s Trillion Dollar Summit with a keynote from….

    Stephen ___ing Harper.

    “I am very encouraged by the detailed comments the prime minister made today on doing just some of these things, and I welcome them”

    Pierre must me so deeply confused today. Poor dear… 😂 🤮

    There is only one alternative to the Liberal-Conservative duopoly in Canada, and that’s the NDP.

    Absolutely, red flag of death.

    And frankly, it's 2026.

    Any PERSON who doesn't understand that the not all men sentiment is resolved and erased by: "but no one knows which men," is an authentic misogynist or actively ignorant.

    Either way, they're toast.

  9. Seems like the #CPC is polling members regarding what they think of trade negotiations with the US.

    I said that the major failing of #MarkCarney with respect to the #TrumpTariffs is that he offered too many concessions. Not sure if that's the line the party will take...

    @mpjgregoire

    I'm concerned he's a narcissist. That's not great for #Canada, long-term. I wrote a book about narcissistic leaders; it never ends well.

    "Pretty much every Carney policy has come from left field, justified not by careful study or enacting long-discussed plans, but by his assertion that he’s the Smartest Man in the Room and if we don’t do exactly what he says right now, the Americans will get us."

    "governance by whim"

    #CdnPoli #narcissism

  11. It's getting so I feel equally ill reading what Carney's saying, as what Teump is saying. 🤢

    Capitalist fantasies; selling our future.
    Well, and Trump's also a cruel racist.

  22. Europe has privatised airports, I see. I wonder how well that works for their users?

    simpleflying.com/why-european-

    What do the owners do to maximise ROI? Increase parking costs and "airport improvement fees"? Charge the airlines more for slots, thereby increasing ticket prices? Increase utilisation to get more passengers going through?

    I'd be interested to see what people who use privatised #airports think.

  23. “A lot of the things (Carney) has done is to give himself and his cabinet sweeping powers and avoid public oversight,” she told the Star. “His whole major project agenda is ‘How can I keep American investors happy’ — because the largest contingent of people at this investment summit (in Toronto), 33 of the companies are American — so it’s still about keeping American investors happy while gutting environmental safeguards here.”

    Great! Less revenue! Less services! More taxes on the rest of us! Go Liberal Government of Canada!

    Carney's really pulling out all the stops today. Selling the entire country -- to American investors -- down the Ottawa River because apparently this is how we make Canada Strong.🤪🤮

    Gawd, I hate everything that is happening today. Everything. All of it.

  37. And if you'd like to see some facts about Privatization in other jurisdictions, here’s a recent report from the Canadian Labour Congress.

    documents.clcctc.ca/PAC/2026/P

    "Supporters of privatization point to Canada’s high
    relative airfares, the prospect of government revenue
    windfall, and the profitability of overseas for-profit
    privatized airports.”

    "Opponents cite Australia, New Zealand, Portugal,
    the United States of America, and the United
    Kingdom as documented cases of privatization
    producing higher airline and consumer charges,
    decreased service quality, workforce squeezes, and
    abuse of market power inherent to airports' status as
    natural monopolies. Estimates suggest that a private
    investor requires 15-20% more revenue than airports
    currently generate– and that gap can only come from
    fares, fees, wages, or reduced government rent.”

    Their conclusion:
    "Airport workers and air travellers should oppose this
    shift from the current publicly-owned, non-profit
    model. Under for-profit airport ownership, revenue
    must be extracted somewhere: consumers, workers,
    or the government will pay the price.”
