Already partly privatized is not sufficient justification to increase privatization - It should have become less privatized, not more

I'm not entirely sure how you read that as if I was saying it was a good move. Maybe I phrased it poorly. I was trying to say privatization in the first place is why it's in such a terrible spot by adding details people seem to be surprised by when I mention it. The entire existence of service Ontario was a shady government deal to make it look like they were adding public service while actually privatizing the majority of it.

Edit: I think it was my first sentence that was phrased poorly, I didn't mean service Ontario already being private was the reason for the staples deal.

I think we agree: privatization means stealing from the public so that a few rich people can get richer
