Meo - I cannot speak to Canadian run businesses.
However - I can speak to American run businessess...
The Government has tried repeatedly to run certain "businessess" - in whole or in part - and has run ever single one of them into the red to the point where each must be subsidized by the government to continute to exist.
Not one government controlled and run business in the history of this country has ever been successful in turning a long term profit. I am not talking social programs - I am talking services for dollars. With that said - why in the world would we - as citizens with a different experience historically - ever want to trust our government to further reach into the business sector? History for us shows that such a move is unwise.
And yes - Steamwake has it nailed. The wal-mart hatred actually did not start until it opened up businessess in highly unionized areas of the Northeast. In doing so, the Unions saw a large group of workers they could exploit - uhm... have as members - yet got rebuffed. Once that happened - then the rage against wal-mart started.
But don't get me started on Unions....
