    What will probably happen is

    1. The fund builds something like a new toll highway where tolls were supposed to pay back into the fund.

    2. Conservatives take office, and sell the highway toll rights for pennies on the dollar.

    3. Conservatives lose office, and then trash talk the liberals for the fund not working and what a waste the highway was.

      A piece I think we’re missing. They probably are opening the fund up to the public to invest in for exactly this reason.

      If I’m putting in a thousand bucks in the fund through my TFSA, and if PP decides to sell off my highway for pennies on the dollar, my next thousand bucks would be invested in a sniper rifle.

      If public involvement in the fund wasn’t there, then what you said would be the likely outcome. I mean at least that’s how I understand it (and if what I’ve understood is correct… Holy hell is the Carney admin smart lol)
