There's a reason previous Liberal governments looked at privatizing airports and didn't go through with it.
Private investors don't want a stake in our public assets to make them better. They’re in it to make as much money as possible for themselves - while workers and passengers pay the price.

Canada airports run under a not-for-profit model. They’re safer and passenger-focused b/c financial surplus is mandated to be reinvested into maintenance, safety, and labour rather than paid out to private shareholders. #fediverse #canpoli #cdnpoli #airports #public #infrastructure

And if you'd like to see some facts about Privatization in other jurisdictions, here’s a recent report from the Canadian Labour Congress.
https://documents.clcctc.ca/PAC/2026/Public%20Runways,%20Private%20Profits%20(FINAL).pdf
"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.”

Oh look! Carney is doing that thing absolutely NO ONE voted for him to do!! Selling out our public infrastructure to the highest bidder so we can all pay more for flights that are already expensive and for which we have no land based alternative! Weeeeeeeeeee #elbowssomething
Sub headline of the article:
“Fares rose 'massively' when Australia privatized its airports, expert says”
But I bet the shareholder ROI was great!

Unpopular Opinion, but I love O’Hare Airport. The aesthetic is very ‘not so distant, but bright future’ to me reminiscent of Star Trek:TNG. To me, it looks like it could just as easily be ‘Starfleet Academy’ as an airport.
And it’s clean, efficient, and not a bad place to be in a travel delay.
And there is a masseuse who was a former Boxer/Fighter at the Airport massage place, you gotta ask for him! He uses his hands for good now, but he’s got the Tiger in him!

"Attendees at the 2026 Conservation Political Action Conference seem to be dazed and confused after a disastrously chaotic month for President Donald Trump. In the last 30 days, he has started a war in the Middle East, deployed federal agents to airports, and refused to end the partial government shutdown."

"While speaking from the CPAC stage Friday in Grapevine, Texas, American Conservative Union chairman Matt Schlapp asked a question he apparently thought would hype up the crowd.
'How many of you would like to see impeachment hearings?'
The crowd erupted in cheers.
'No,' Schlapp responded, shaking his head. 'That was the wrong answer. Let me try it again.'"
