minus-squarekent_eh@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 day agoHistorically it’s been the Cons that have privatized more government assets than any other party.
minus-squareunbanshee@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 day agoFor sure, they did. Most of the big stuff was started, if not completed, by Conservative administrations. But Chrétien and Martin continued the process. Air Canada, Petro-Can, and CN Rail were all initiated by Mulroney but completed by Liberal PMs. My point is, I don’t see the LPC as reliable defenders of public services and I think it’s dangerous to view them as an ally in that context.
