As a potential airport user, I'm not too pumped up about the airport investment stuff as I would anticipate greater expense and worse service, but what I would guess is the reasoning there is that Carney is looking for a relatively stable domestic location that is big enough for the Canadian pension funds to store a bunch of dough - and there will be some dealings with unsavoury sorts to make that a reality.

My mental processing power is all potato based, so I probably don't really understand what is happening.

Ignoring data sovereignty for a moment: Carney's investment summit will probably push that further.

Two problems. We moved past nation states. Borders don't mean anything anymore because the modern age has found ways through them. This is what you get when you don't adjust policy and governance to that reality.

Capitalism puts capital above all else, the US has more capital than Canada so they will benefit the most from this system.

Bit weird to call it a fight, when our govt is actively encouraging it.

Foreign isn't a problem. American is
