Canadian Politics Today

I was refuting your assertion that government run entities are "non-profit". They are always for profit but the beneficiaries change. In the case, of government run monopolies the public sector unions are very good at extracting disproportionate benefits for their members at the expense of everyone who is forced to pay for the service.

So it's your contention that government is charging citizens a market price for water services that will maximize profits/returns?  And these profits are going to unions? 

You don't even understand what the terms "for profit" and "non profit" are even referring to in the case of government services.  This is a really ignorant position that seems to stem from some anti-union stance that really has nothing to do with this topic. 

Are you really going to try an argue that government workers do not cost more than non-government workers?

If the private sector could maximize profits from selling water to citizens, I would imagine those workers would be paid pretty damn well....   like tarsands well... 

I also certainly don't want a private company trying to maximize profits by cutting back on...  oh, water purification....   

...or training for workers...   let's skip the "how to make water drinkable" course for our workers...   we can save thousands!
