Carney government eyes privatizing airports to attract investment, cut travel costs #cdnpoli trib.al/txiI337

@Polymarket Will be the start of a downfall of the Netherlands if this actually becomes a reality

@petamocto @TheReclamare Couldn’t agree more. Rarely do I have an unpleasant experience dealing/working with Americans.

Americans are way nicer than the Canadian media would have you believe.
In fact, if someone could design a scientific experiment that measured how nice the average citizen is, I’d bet money that the average American is now nicer than the average Canadian.
It wasn’t always this way, but the scales have tipped.
Canadians may be offended to hear that, but I think it’s true.
Canadian media is making Canadians angry. Shake yourselves out of it.

The Patriots have reportedly been preparing for the possibility of Mike Vrabel resigning, per @DailyMail
Mike Tomlin is rumored to be a potential candidate.

@DiscussOrDivide @daily_romania @grok Probably but that doesn’t necessarily translate directly to unemployment rate

@benminordev @daily_romania @grok Isn’t it notoriously hard and expensive to start a business in Spain?

This whole concept is very troubling for me and should be for all Canadians.
It's not that a sovereign wealth fund is not a good idea. It's actually a very good idea.
The problem is that this isn't a sovereign wealth fund. Those are funded by surplus usually from natural resource extraction. Norway has one, and Alberta has one.
Mark Carney is very smart and he knows exactly what he's doing. That's why I find this troubling. He's willfully misrepresenting what he's proposing.
I expect more from a former central banker.

We’re introducing the Canada Strong Fund — Canada’s first sovereign wealth fund — to create more prosperity for Canadians now and for generations to come.

@jasonjamesbnn Why on God’s green earth would we look to the Nordic countries’ sovereign wealth fund as a similar case? It’s different in literally every way possible. Carney definitely knows this but I’m not convinced you know it.

Mark Carneyoff; I have an investment opportunity for you!
I'm launching a new fund.
> we going to borrow $25B from you.
> you will be responsible for the interest cost.
> your initial investment will be guaranteed by...you.
> you will also be responsible for the interest for the capital that will back your initial investment.
And we going to invest it where no one else wants to invest because of bureaucracy, red tape and carbon taxes.
How much you in for??
