have you heard of SaskTel? It's a public option for telecom/cell phones, and last I heard, Saskatchewan has by far the lowest prices on cell phone plans in the country, because the big telcos are forced to actually compete, instead of colluding with each other to rip us off.

I have free long distance to Mexico, US and Canada with 50GB for $29 including taxes. (Public Mobile). Sasktel can't come close.

This is the example I think of every time. There are some really great government run businesses out there that you can actually trust to have your interest at heart.

Another direct example is comparing the nightmare that is private healthcare industry in the states with publicly owned healthcare in Canada.

Doug Ford is doing his best to privatize health care. We waste so much money on temp nurses.
