Our government is in the process of selling crucial Canadian infrastructure, including transportation assets, to foreign investors. This is not just a matter of economic strategy; it’s a question of national sovereignty and public accountability. Our nation's airports, railways, and roads are integral to our economy and daily life, affecting millions of Canadians every single day. Allowing foreign entities to control them risks not only increased prices and reduced service quality but also the erosion of our national control over these vital assets.

Critical public assets should never fall into the hands of foreign investors driven by profit motives. The primary concern is the potential for skyrocketing fees at our airports and other key transport hubs. We’ve seen this pattern before: initial promises of improvement and modernization eventually give way to exploitative fees, reduced services, and a focus on maximizing profits rather than serving the public interest.

There are also grave risks to public accountability. When assets are privatized, especially to foreign companies, there’s a significant reduction in transparency over decisions impacting millions of Canadians. Our infrastructure should be run by and for Canadians, ensuring that decisions are made with our national interests at heart.

Furthermore, the sale of our infrastructure represents a loss of national sovereignty. These are strategic assets not just for our economy but for our security and overall welfare. Once foreign entities own key infrastructure, reversing such arrangements is complex and costly, often leaving us with fewer control options over our own resources.

The government has many other options to consider for raising necessary capital. Selling off critical transit infrastructure should not even be a consideration. We must prioritize keeping these vital components of our nation’s infrastructure firmly within our control, where they can be managed transparently to benefit all Canadians.

It’s time to act to protect our nation’s interests. Let us unite our voices to demand that the Canadian government stops any plans to sell transportation and other critical infrastructure to foreign investors. We need to ensure our infrastructure remains a public asset under Canadian control. So ...
