So, if I understand your logic correctly, people are better off allowing private enterprise to make money on services that are more cheaply provided by the government? And that would be why, exactly?

"Government services are more costly than private enterprise can deliver! Privatize!"
"Government services are cheaper than private enterprise can deliver! Privatize again!"

Further, what proof do you have of the bolded part of your post - have you ever actually worked for a very large corporation like Bell or Telus? If you had, the idea that they are any more efficient than a government would make you laugh loud and long.
