I 100% agree that we shouldn’t be privatizing our government services. I’m not sure that chip manufacturing and testing should be a government service.

Canada post is a government service in my mind. This CFPC seems like a strange way to spend tax dollars. Has it been successful at creating jobs or direct return on investments?

I live in a small town outside Ottawa. Facebook has decided that I’m one of the people that wants to see the No ALTO post. The comments on the post are hilarious. Some people make good points about it been a huge expense, but the rest are people claiming that no one wants it and nothing will ever grow again between between Toronto and Montreal. Combine that with people that think we can run fast trains on the existing freight lines and the other that think we should just be building pipelines to refineries that can’t use tar sand oil. It’s good for a laugh and but I can’t bring myself to engage with them.
