that's a good point, I'm all for nationalization, unfortunately everyones got their hands in corporate pockets, and the public are too stupid/selfish to be accepting of it, so we'd never see that happening. Heck we have to fight tooth and nail to keep our healthcare system since the corporations and government want to axe that

maybe if Jack Layton didn't pass away we'd have an NDP government and some nationalizing happening (who knows, probably not)

I don't think we'll ever have a leader working to benefit Canadians like a Tommy Douglas or Lester Pearson again
