Get Ready For Harper's HUGE Public Asset SELL OFF!
You knew that Stephen Harper couldn't resist at least one huge 'sell off' of public assets while he was PM! (Don't look now but his old 'Reform' roots are showing ...)
“There are some opportunities there for some privatizations of businesses that one questions why the government is in them anymore. So we’ll look at those and I expect that in the next year we’ll be able to make some announcements” he said in an interview posted to the cbc.ca website Friday. “It’s actually an asset review. Why does the government own A or B or C? Why are we in that business? Do taxpayers really need to own this?”
