I agree with this comment on unions AND contractors (though not all). I think the problem is when service becomes a game or grift and not actually being efficient.

City of Toronto was one of the worst performing unions in most sectors and stank of corruption and over employment, and then on the other side you have MetroLinx which has been one of the biggest wastes of money a government has ever seen.

Then on the flip side you have Parks Canada and the National Archives doing amazing work with limited budgets.

I know with Toronto the culture came from the top, but these days I think contract farming and middle management bloat is what is really killing efficiency.

Also let the damn people work from home.
