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… @cupelocal79 @Local416 #keepwaterpublic

So much for being “fiscal conservatives.” 🙄 @fordnation and @PaulCalandra have some explaining to do. A record $117 MILLION in government advertising while Ontario’s public schools are struggling for resources. Imagine what $117 million could do for our classrooms. #FundOurSchools
NEW: The Ford government has broken its own record for ad spending. Internal documents show its advertising bill climbed to more than $117 million last year, according to internal documents — the highest total in a single year in Ontario’s history. A breakdown of how the money was spent in this story by me and @CharliePinkerto: thetrillium.ca/news/governme…

Bolivians are protesting against hunger & neoliberalism again. Another general strike could be coming against the US-backed govt of Rodrigo Paz. There is 100% inflation on basic goods right now. Free market reforms have been a disaster.

This is a fantastic article outlining how the province is privatizing our public services - especially the most vital like education and healthcare. Everyone should read this!
Ford's move to give Staples $66 million of taxpayer money in a single vendor contract represents a recurring theme of privatization for his government. #onpoli #onted springmag.ca/doug-ford-is-pr…

Military spending or cheering for Canadian capitalists won't save us. "We need: job creation & retention in the public sector from healthcare to housing; stronger worker protections; and permanent improvements to Employment Insurance (EI)." springmag.ca/canadian-nation…

Co-wrote this 5 years ago about the 9/11 anniversary. The war on terror wasn’t a mistake, it was a conscious effort by the ruling class to assert geopolitical and economic control. And like all wars it bred reaction and racism at home and abroad springmag.ca/2001-to-2021-20… – at Kings, Royalty, Prince Edward Island

“The “elbows up” nationalism logic resulting from the trade wars have necessitated that 🇨🇦 sovereignty vis-à-vis 🇺🇸 prevail at any cost, including accepting job losses, cutting public spending, and pumping public dollars into Canadian corporations for AI and military spending.”
There can be no path to justice or economic betterment for us here in Canada at the cost of the livelihoods of workers in the US or anywhere else. springmag.ca/canadian-nation…

Great speech. Unity with other ed workers and strong strike votes. We have the power of over 250,000 education workers in this province.
In his opening speech at #ETFOAM2026 @ETFOpresident says we are going to work together to lift everyone up. The most important word here in #onted is “together”. We know what it’s like to work without the proper support and that we cannot solve those issues alone. That’s why we are part of a union. Why we are part of the larger labour movement. #onpoli
