How would privatizing airports impact our travel plans?

About this episode

The episode discusses the potential impact of airport privatization on Canadian travel, local gang violence, and the trend of young adults living with their parents.

The federal government says Canada is in the “early stages” of discussions about possibly privatizing airports. How could potentially impact travel for Canadians? The most recent gang shooting in Surrey is highlighting why we need a local gang task force. According to Statistics Canada, 35 per cent of 20- to 34-year-olds were living with a parent in 2021, up from 31 per cent in 2001. Why are we seeing this trend? Learn more about your ad choices.
