some things, not others. i still hate that Alberta has private insurance, it's so much simpler in BC just dealing with one entity. but gov't should never bail out private businesses when they fail due to their own mismanagement
and the reasoning for only allowing so many telcos/cablecos in a given area is due to the infrastructure involved. you wouldn't want to see telephone polls absolutly packed with various cables due to a variety of differnet companies having their own networks. this is why the CRTC mandates that companies such as Shaw and Telus lease out their lines to 3rd party providors, so that you can get the competition without the clutter
