If you thought mental health and addiction care couldn't get any worse, how about privatizing the care and building its own bureaucracy to siphon what little budget it gets.

Wonder what boot lickers will get to run these new companies.

Streamers are all gonna introduce ads next year anyway. Now they can use the extra money they have to pay after the actor and writer strikes as an excuse. Enshittification is nearly complete.

A giant government agency couldn’t just be given to Telus, but one of four? That’s a much easier sell.

Which is why this was done in the first place, pre-proportioning what will be doled out to private firms.

So, when do you think the first one will be privatized for failing to deliver the standard of care?

Long enough that people forget the central agency was broken up in the first place (so this could happen)?
