Re: RE: Pearson to be worlds costliest airport
Montreal cant handle all or even a signifcant amount of traffic from Pearson, theres a reason why Pearson is so big. That being said I think this is more the GTAA's fault than the government. The GTAA chose to pursue the construction of terminal without government money or through private sponsorship like they did for terminal 3. The 4.1 Billion dollar cost is the biggest percentage of the landing fee and had they waited for government funding or gone to a private company they would end up with lower landing fees. Mind you the government shouldnt be putting salt on the wound.

Toronto Airport was built in Peel Region, Canada's most corrupt government. What do you expect?
It's the world's most skimmed off airport costing 10 times more that fair price for the work received.

What do they care?
The costs are passed on to the users as higher fare tickets. It's an indirect form of extra taxation.
Canadians are taxed to the max and this is a way around taxing us more without calling it a tax.
If you travel your ticket includes these extra revenues for government administrators to rake in and spend at their whims and pleasure.

they make the airport uncompetitive and ppl substitute away from it to nearby airports such as hamilton and montreal, in the shorterm this can eb expensive for the airline as they loose business and in teh long run even more expensive as they must renegotiate with teh new airport to capture the lossed market

It's only a question of how much the traveler is prepared to pay extra or how much everyone dependant on travel money is prepared to pitch in to relive the travelers of extra cost to keep them comming.
Everyone pays for it one way or another, directly or indirectly. Government puts sums of money together and find ways to spend it. Too much government spending is done backwards. i.e., 'we have x dollars, how can we spend it to avoid gioving it back to the taxpayers".
Justifying existing taxes collected and looking for new ways to take more is the main occupation of Government Bureaucracy.
Private Business grows by doing more business for the purpose of making more money for its shareholders. It is however controled by competitive forces that keep things in check.
Public business grows by increasing activity and bureaucracy for the purpose of taxing people more, spending more, and employing more people in public sector. There are no control or things that keep things in check. No matter how much money they tax us for, it is never enough.

The GTAA is a government bureaucracy. They can call things fully funded public non-profit organizations, crown corporations, private/public joint ventures etc., but thay are all nothing but Government pure and simple.
In the case where a private entity is paticipating in a JV then its just government bureaucrats playing businessmen among friends.
None of it is business.

Is it? I think Pearson is the most organized airports in Canada. Riding a taxi service to this Removed Link to SPAM is no sweat unlike in others where you have to wait in traffic.
