Potential Privatization of Canadian Airports Sparks Controversy

Prime Minister suggests that this move could generate funds for other major projects and enhance air travel experiences for Canadians.

McQuaig, author of ‘The Sport and Prey of Capitalists: How the Rich Are Stealing Canada’s Public Wealth,’ discusses the implications of transferring public infrastructure to private ownership.
