(True North) — Of the new Liberal cabinet announced on Wednesday, 16 of 39 ministers are either real estate investors or landlords.
41% of cabinet ministers hold real estate assets for profit-generating purposes, an increase from the previous cabinet’s 31% (12 of 39 ministers). Members of Parliament must disclose such assets with the federal conflict of interest commissioner.
“There is a campaign under way to essentially destroy the public education system along with every aspect of human life and attitudes and thought that involve social solidarity. It’s being done in all sorts of ways. One is simply by underfunding. So, if you can make the public schools really rotten, people will look for an alternative. Any service that’s going to be privatized, the first thing you do is make it malfunction so people can say, “We want to get rid of it. It’s not running. Let’s give it to Lockheed.” — Noam Chomsky, The Progressive Magazine, September 1999, p.37
