“Thanks to negative interest rates destroying pension funds, we have a tempting pot of money government just cannot keep its hands out of. Governments are turning to ‘asset recycling’ – which includes even Canada. The federal government of Canada, for example, is looking at a potential source of cash to reduce the cost of government by shifting Canada’s mounting infrastructure costs to the private sector. They want to sell or lease stakes in major public assets such as highways, rail lines, and ports. In Canada, they sneaked in a line hidden in last month’s federal budget which reveals the Liberals are considering making public assets available to non-government investors, like public pension funds. They will sell the national infrastructure to pension funds .. This latest trick is being called ‘asset recycling,’ which is a system designed to raise money for governments. This idea is surfacing in Europe & the United States (especially among strapped cash States). They are destroying Western Culture because they are simply crazy and people who vote for them blindly are out of their minds. They are destroying the very fabric of society for they cannot see what they are doing nor where this all leads.”
