If they cap at a certain amount everyone would have enough water to
(Snitow and Kaufman, 7) This quote explains how not only privatization, but also conservative agendas and deregulation have allowed businesses to create their own private water markets to make people pay much more money for water, rather than the people getting the water from a public source.
The key is raising efficiency and lowering the overhead cost of service not privatization. Today the Canadian government like many governments is hesitant to raise taxes or add to their already large debt burdens with new financial projects.

The movement toward privatization began in the 1980s and has grown at a rapid pace. By 2009, privately operated correctional facilities serving as prisons and jails held over 128,000 state and federal prisons across 33 states. State run prison systems have always contracted with private industries for food, psychological testing, training and recreational services. Companies such as Cornell Corrections, Corrections Corporation of America, Correctional Services Corporation, Wackenhunt Corrections Corporations and several other smaller companies operates private prisons. Most states corrections administrators utilize private companies to reduce overcrowding, lower operating expenses, and avoid lawsuits aimed at state officials and employees.
putting the security of these civilians a risk, defeats the whole purpose of social security, which is why the privatization of Social Security would be foolish. A major risk of privatization is that the transition from a “pay as you go” system to a fully funded system would be very difficult to manage, for many reasons. Currently, the taxes paid by each generation of workers fund the retirement benefits of the previous generation of workers. While each generation of workers has been confident that its retirement would be financed by the next, this confidence is eroding (Pollard 1).

Sometimes, to solve the problem of water pollution developing countries and the World Bank decide to privatization is the private sector that provides water and sanitation to the people. The article, “Food Water Watch,” reports that “Around the world, multinational corporations are seizing control of public water resources and prioritizing profits for their stockholders and executives over the needs of the communities they serve.” This shows that water privatization is global, it is not done by one nation only but most countries privatize water.
