Well, duh, the point is that it's the public that lost out. The government could be making those revenues instead, and re-investing them in infrastructure.

And Canada has infrastructure issues galore so they really needed that money. Short term gain, long term massive loss.

Unless they can't. And unless one takes the time to actually understand the circumstances under which the asset was privatized, you have no idea whether that's the case. But golly gee it's a whole lot easier to take the intellectually shallow path of "how dare a company make more money than I think they should" and avoid all that messy 'research' and 'understanding'.

Duh.

Drop the bullshit smear. I was around and voting in that era, and I understand it well.

I question whether you were, though.

"If I throw shade at you, it's because I'm your elder and better. If you return the favour, it's an unconscionable smear and you're a juvenile". Classy...should I get off your lawn too? There are tons of thin skinned old people just like you who vote, think their minimally informed preconceived notions are 'understanding' and don't want to know about inconvenient facts. I stopped pulling the 'older makes me better than you' shtick in my 40's, and that was a long time ago.

Old folks arguing about who is older -- name a more grumpy exchange!

Sounds like yall should get a beer and hash it out.

You can get off my lawn, too. :-)
