Running a successful restaurant is very difficult. It takes a lot of skills. Competition is brutal.

Running a Canadian bank or Canadian telecom company is actually easy. 3/4 big companies share the banking market and the telecom market. They pretend to compete but there is so few of them their CEOs can meet regularly in private. Meanwhile, the customers are trapped and don't have any alternative.
This is why Banks and Telecom companies should pay a higher tax rate.
More taxes, and use that money to create a publicly-owned competitor. If the private sector wants to compete, they'll either have to be better or cheaper than the public option, or both.
Also, re-nationalize the infrastructure. In Canada, taxpayers paid for hydro and telecom construction, then all of that infra was included in the privatization of those sectors. Bell has been profiting for decades by charging people to use the copper that was installed on the public dime.
