“When you privatize an airport, the only way for the big investors to make money is by either making it more expensive for you to fly or by cutting the wages of the people who work there, or both. And neither sound good to me,” Kinew said during a press conference at the Manitoba Legislative Building.
The premier said he does not believe investment opportunities opening up at Canada’s largest airports could leave smaller regional airports at a disadvantage.
“When has rich people getting a bunch of money ever made it easier for us?” the premier asked.
“I would point you to the precedent of it having never happened once in the history of humankind, so colour me a little skeptical that all of a sudden handing over a ton of money-making opportunity to some rich folks is going to help the average Canadian out there.”

not just cutting wages, but cutting quality of service.

Yes, he is. The rest are all picking their asses and trying to figure out how to most profit from all this trump bullshit (see also BC premier calling an election no one wants and then trying to pass it off as a response to trump).
