Thanks @TorontoStar & @mahdishabibinia for this insightful piece clarifying @BradMBradford's & @fordnation's path to water privatization: "What qualifies as 'an agent' could be a private company, a public-private partnership like Metrolinx or the Canada Infrastructure Bank, which facilitates private investment in infrastructure projects." thestar.com/gift-redeem?t=e9…

Instead of Ford asking for Cho’s resignation… 👇🏻👇🏻
Did Cho ever pay back taxpayers for his exorbitant hotel bills??
NEW: Education Minister Paul Calandra tells me he's "very excited" to have Stan Cho on his team, and that the "quality of his work since he's been an MPP is literally second to none."
Premier Ford announced Cho will be joining Calandra’s team as a parliamentary assistant — just three months after Cho resigned from cabinet for charging taxpayers $16,000 in Toronto hotel stays.
The new role comes with a $22,500 pay bump. Ford declined to comment. Story: thetrillium.ca/insider-news/…

Despite promises from WSIB that there will be no disruptions; the number of unaddressed claims has increased from 400 to nearly 6000!!!
This is why MPP Lise Vaugeois and I have called on the Auditor General to conduct a value-for-money audit of this decision.
