Yeah, we’re seeing a classic mechanic playing out in Canada where the government chokes funding to public services, and then tells the public that public sector is inefficient leading to privatization.
I see privatization being pushed the most in Alberta and Ontario (the amount of province funded ads I’ve passed by…) but some others may follow as well. This seems like a problem with giving provinces individual jurisdiction over their own funding, it’s why disability benefits are so inconsistent. Maybe if we actually nationalized our social services things would be better, but that also depends on the ruling government. As it stands, there really is no hope for any party to improve the lives of the citizens, they’ll push you to kill yourself rather than make life even the slightest bit accessible, it’s why they’re dragging their feet with the disability act.
