Be careful: Ontario’s winter roads ‘less safe’ since privatization
In an effort to reduce costs, the Ontario government privatized and contracted out winter road maintenance. However, a report by the Auditor General, Bonnie Lysyk, found that contracting out winter road maintenance led to longer clearing times and more dangerous roads. “In the past, highways were cleared much faster,” the auditor told reporters Wednesday, noting…
