Service Ontario was already largely privatized, that’s the entire reason it started. The already private drivers license offices were pulled into it and paid a commission too low to even cover their near minimum wage pay. Not disagreeing that it’s a bad move, just adding in because most people don’t realize most service Ontario workers are paid absolute garbage and treated like it by their employer.
Ford had to spend millions to get Staples to take the business after he’d already planned to take it from the existing franchisees because he leapt before he looked. Ford, being the business failson that he is, didn’t really plan this out at all.
Staples took one look at the costs and efforts involved and nope’ed out of it until Ford bribed them enough to pick it up.
