The P-Word: Privatization. Talk about it until they admit it!

The governments, both provincial-um-Liberals and federal Conservatives, are privatizing everything in sight. It's well underway and plain to everyone, so why don't we say the p-word? The media dare not, the governments know better, but we can. We really need to talk about this out loud, and a lot, until someone in government admits it and says, "Yes, we are privatizing everything but big business and the military except for a few chosen suppliers." Jim Flaherty did, in effect, admit it in an interview with CBC when he said rather proudly that he would not quite elevate himself to the level of Margaret Thatcher but she had been his model and he had done the best thing for the country. (I'm paraphrasing). So get brave, school boards, universities, hospitals, all social services, pension funds, housing and infrastructure projects, unions, and more, call it but its name: privatization by government neoliberal policies in Canada is well underway. Tell everyone. It won't stop until you do.
