This is how Carney thinks he's going to finance his Canada Strong Fund. He knows he's going to get huge pushback because it's all financed with debt and he thinks this will give him money to finance the fund. This is a horrible idea. Empirical evidence shows privatizing airports does not work.
Your shipping cost example doesn't justify the varying costs of gas across the country and it far more closely is tied to gas taxes. Gas does not get more expensive just because it's further from Alberta. Regardless of your insults. Easy enough to do a tax/price per litre comparison.
So then don't click it.
