Mark Carney announces Canada is willing to let private companies run airports in Toronto, Calgary, Vancouver and Montreal “The Government of Canada will retain ownership of the underlying land and assets, but we will unlock their true value, by bringing in new capital and expertise into their operations and growth. We will reinvest the tens of billions of dollars of capital we raise into the infrastructure that Canada needs for the next generation. Canadian pension funds already invest successfully in many airports around the world. It is time to bring that same expertise home to more directly benefit all Canadians.” #cdnpoli

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith gave a lengthy response as to why Canada should not put export taxes on Oil, saying "I cannot think of a more disastrous policy decision than cutting off or taxing Alberta's oil to the United States, doing so would absolutely devastate the Canadian economy." She goes on to say it would tank the TSX, 100000's of jobs would be lost, the Americans would put similar export taxes on what they send to Canada, which in her words, would "bring the economies of Ontario and Quebec to a grinding halt" The Americans would then go buy Venezuelan oil and Canada "would lose the United States as a customer entirely and likely forever." #cdnpoli

The US will receive money collected from the Gordie Howe Bridge, prior to Canada recouping the full $6.4 billion it paid to build it, two senior government sources have told Global News. This is despite Mark Carney saying the US would get what was "left over" after Canada serviced debt on the bridge, which the Americans contributed $0 to. The two sources told Global News, the new 15 year agreement stipulates Canada will get 100% of the revenue from the bridge, cash that will be used to pay for things like snow removal and other maintenance costs but not for debt servicing. The money left over, will be split 50/50 with the Americans, who have agreed to put their cut, into an American controlled regional economic development fund. The original deal signed in 2012, said that Canada was to receive 100% of the money from the bridge, until they were made whole for fronting the entire cost of the crossing, a timeline that was estimated to stretch over 50+ years. Once the 15 year side deal is completed the Liberals say the original financial terms come back into force but they have not released the text of what they say is an "agreement in principle" to back up any claims up. On Thursday, Carney said that Canada is "not splitting the tolls of the bridge. It is an agreement for 15 years to split net revenues. Splitting of tolls, any sharing of the toll, won’t happen until all of the debt is repaid." While Carney is correct in saying Canada is not splitting tolls, the overwhelming major of the revenue from the Gordie Howe Bridge, comes from the tolls it collects, revenue Canada is set to share with the US. Both sources indicated it's expected bridge expenses will exceed revenue for at least the first six years, meaning neither side would get money during that period, but that timeline could fluctuate based on the amount of traffic on the bridge #cdnpoli
