There, and in airports across the country, the federal government has a responsibility to put public interest ahead of corporate profits. It should be stopping Doug Ford's scheme. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9364694\" data-originallang=\"en\">Why is it instead pushing its own sell-off plans for airports across this country?</p>",
