- Dave Cournoyer began blogging in 2005 while studying Political Science at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. In 2006, he was elected Vice-President (External) his Students’ Union and served as Chair of the Council of Alberta University Students until 2007. Since then, he has worked as Communication Coordinator for Alberta’s official opposition party and for various advocacy and public policy groups. As well as writing on this blog, Dave also occasionally writes for publications such as SEE Magazine.
P3s are almost always more expensive. We saw this over and over in Ontario, though Conservative and Liberal governments there. Not looking forward to seeing it confirmed again here.
ReplyDeleteIf Costco was actually overseeing such a thing, given their corporate profile and social attitude, it might actually work out. But I thought the idea of a provincial government being in charge of the fixed assets of education was because they /are/ a form of Costco. An accountable, economical bulk buy force big enough to influence prices and to ably punish substandard contractors slipping through the vetting process. A force not beholden to the profit line, but the non-profit line.
ReplyDeleteSilly me.
