Note my statement wasn't absolute, the government can be more efficient at delivering services and goods to consumers. It isn't always worse and in some cases can be better. This concept that the privatization will always lead to more efficient delivery is false. And the concept that people will always spend their money better than the government is also false. The absolutism of your position is what I take issue with.

MTS has some of the worst service and speed stats in all of North America and possibly the first world. You get what you pay for. Outside of Winnipeg you are basically on rotary phone service. Who cares if you get $5/month unlimited morse code rates.
To turn your argument on it's head, take a look at U.S. markets that have full competition and look at their service levels and low consumer rates...
Are you the first NDP voter to out yourself?
