By declaring them an essential service, or by bringing about private competition, the government can remove the "people" as any kind of leverage, because then the people will either be guaranteed a service or have an alternate choice.<BR/><BR/>The government is supposed to be the voice of the people, yet they do not act or anticipate the people's needs, and that is a failure in the system.Juxtaposehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15342837064823763159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14308375.post-54002118866928979362008-04-27T19:49:00.000-04:002008-04-27T19:49:00.000-04:00While I agree that the government is also to blame...While I agree that the government is also to blame here for all the reasons that you stated, I don't think it's simply on them.<BR/><BR/>The TTC and the Union have proved time and time again that they are an irresponsible organization who have no respect for customer service.

So to let them act like children, and then absolve them of any responsibility, I think, is also not right.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01160308746562782149noreply@blogger.com
