Every time some idiot politician solves a problem by inviting in the private sector the next government will have to pay through the nose to buy everything back and repair everything. GO LOOK AT THE BRITAIN DRINKING WATER CRISIS. It eventually ALWAYS means buying back what you already owned and repairing it to go forward. This is a fools game.

Ken Sim is Chip Wilson's finger puppet. Every policy ABC puts forward first has to benefit its éminence grise. And the éminence grise is a billionaire libertarian POS.

And it's doing well for TransLink.
