What an utterly dumb idea....suggested by the conservative think tank C.D. Howe.  Is there any public asset that they don't like to privatize?

Sell money making assets so that the government will lose the future income from those assets.  It might be a smart move for someone who is retiring and not expecting to live too long.  But for a government, it is a sure path to ensure that it will always be in debt.

Remember the Ontario PC party that sold off the 407ETR in 1999 for $3 billion after it was built using taxpayers' money?  Now, all Ontarians think it was a very shortsighted and stupid move.
