If it's any consolation, YYC is probably no worse than most Canadian airport authorities. Unfortunately they're all a mess. The liberals privatized airport operations in 1994, and overall the only people who have benefitted are the airport authorities themselves.

The liberal transport minister that oversaw implementation, Doug Young, was later quoted as saying it was the worst decision of his career and that he regretted its implementation.

So the good news is that YYC really isn't worse than other major Canadian airports. The bad news.....
