What a crazy surprise. Who would have thought that paying an organization to do the same thing as another while also making a profit would cost more?

I disagree with the conceit that everything and everyone in this place is all about exploitative behavior. I do agree that that tends to be the nature of our politicians. I'm not stumping for the Liberal party, and certainly they've allowed whatever private sector forces free reign to gouge us in the past, that's just a feature of our "wonderful capitalist system". The common ideology between lib/con forces is that they both expect to profit off of being in power, the difference is that the cons tend to want to do it at any cost, and hate social services. They both love to cozy up to private interest, but the cons will actively seek the destruction of any social service. There are reasons to try to convince folks to not support them even if the alternative kind of blows. I would rather neither as well, but what exactly are you advocating for?
