How do you feel about Carney’s plan 2 sell off airport operations?We’ve seen privatization in other countries led 2higher costs 4 passengers & layoffs. Turning airport services over 2 corporate interests also threatens Canadian sovereignty.Tell your MP 2 hands off our airports!
Today Avi Lewis, MP Heather McPherson and labour leaders came together to send a clear message to Mark Carney: Canada's airports are not for sale.

The Liberals want to sell stakes in our airports to private and foreign investors, and pitch it as "unlocking value."
Ask them one question: “can you guarantee flights won't get more expensive?”
THEY CANT.
Because they know the answer.
Australia already ran this experiment.
Fees rose "massively."
The public loses, every single flight.
Carney is moving ahead with the sale of airport concessions.
In Australia and Greece where airports were sold—prices for travellers went up, jobs were cut and service levels went down.
We have built and paid for our airports with our taxes and passenger fees. Now Carney is giving them to the private sector so they can generate a profit off of us.

Gasoline in Brandon, Manitoba jumped to over $1.80/litre. A container of formula for my baby granddaughter is over $70.
You have built nothing. You have achieved nothing. Your promises to the Canadian people have amounted to nothing.
Talking points and endless announcements do not a Prime Minister make.
