How do we accomplish this?
Specifically if the conservatives get in and can just sell it off for a short-term payout, how can we make a long-term plan for this?
I ask not to sound smug and cynical, but to earnestly seek ideas on this.
The only way is to make sure conservatives never form government again.
That doesn’t seem like an entirely sustainable plan?
I’m trying to separate what I want (which is what you addressed) with something practical that would allow Canada to invest in longer-term projects like this one.
This is a very fair question. The Cons screw Canada over quite regularly. Is there a way we can safe guard anything put into place.
My only idea would be a partnership with a province which would give the other veto power over any potential sale, along with a legal commitment that Canada would retain access to all IP in case of a sale.
What if we only funded infrastructure with debt, instead of consumption. Then we wont run into a scenario where we need to start selling assets to pay our creditors. Kind of like Keynes suggested long ago.
This isn’t a case where it needed to be sold, it was just short-term selfish thinking.
However you are perhaps correct that for a systemic problem, a systemic solution is needed not some cheap workaround as with what I was suggesting.
