Canada is not the US's hat. The US is Canada's pants.

Anyone seriously making the case that privatization leads to efficiency at this late date deserves the wall. If your cost-saving plan is to add a middle man, or to sell off something you own so you can rent it back indefinitely, the only options for you are the re-education camp or the log chipper.

Nobody is this stupid. These claims are made with purely malicious intent.

I remember getting emails from DOGE while I worked at a government agency, encouraging all of us to quit and be productive members of society by joining the private sector.

I got fired by Meelon and joined the private sector; people are really running around pretending to do work here, and smiling through their teeth. Psychotic bullshit is the correct description of what goes on in the private sector.
