"Wow you are correct... but most of the companies operating out of them are private companies operating for profit.... or at least an attempt at profit.

The TTC is going to remain a State owned facility and will operated and run for profit by a private company... same concept."


Thanks, now if I were Diddle, I'd follow you around for months and scream that you lied to everyone. But I'm not. Actually, you appear to have some class.

But seriously, if the lease is for 50+ years, calling it a state-owned enterprise is really a fiction. And, back to airports, I still think that they are truly publicly owned. Yes, there are certainly private companies on the premises (airlines and concessions, for example), but there is not one overreaching, huge company, grabbing at everyone's wallets from the minute that they enter. And also, the ground that the airplanes taxi on, and the runways, are never privately owned, much less the air traffic control system.

Raising the gasoline tax? It won't happen.

Lots of right of ways are operated by private companies for a profit. Would you prefer they were run by a government and required huge subsidies?
