What's interesting and different about the 407 ETR though is that it is NOT owned OR operated by the government, but is owned and operated by a consortium of private companies.

This consortium consists of Spanish company Grupo Ferrovial and its subsidiary Cintra Concesiones de Infraestructuras de Transporte, SNC-Lavalin, and Capital d'Amerique CDPQ, a subsidiary of the Caisse de depot et placement du Quebec. It was sold by the province of Ontario in 1999 to the tune of 3.107 billion dollars.

I have the exact same problem actually. When I was going through school it became such an issue that I was failing everything simply because it wasn't legible. So I saw an occupational therapist, was diagnosed with an inflexibility in my wrist and was told regardless of how much I practiced, my writing would never get better. So I became the only 7th grader with a laptop at the time.
