Theres no reason the government cant run grocery stores

Even if they did, as soon as there is a conservative government again, they'll privatize it and sell it off for pennies on the dollar to their friends.

This point hits hard in the US right now.

Since when does the LPC need the Cons to privatize public services?

[-] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 hours ago

Historically it's been the Cons that have privatized more government assets than any other party.

For sure, they did. Most of the big stuff was started, if not completed, by Conservative administrations.

But Chrétien and Martin continued the process. Air Canada, Petro-Can, and CN Rail were all initiated by Mulroney but completed by Liberal PMs.

My point is, I don't see the LPC as reliable defenders of public services and I think it's dangerous to view them as an ally in that context.
