"Imagine a $510 million annual cut to health care or education." New analysis by @Randyfrobinson estimates the cost to provincial coffers as Ontario moves to the Quebec model of retailing #alcohol. It's expensive. @LCBO https://t.co/X1P6s73DoD #onhealth#onted#onpoli
"Increased @LCBO profits—paid for by the workers—did nothing to silence the self-interested voices calling for more private alcohol sales." Wondering why @OPSEU is on strike? Check out this new explainer from @CCPA_Ont's @RandyFRobinson: https://t.co/VBvUnFnroz #onpoli#alcohol

Children's aid workers in Ottawa have a msg for @fordnation: Put Kids First!
Under a gov't prioritizing corporate greed, it's not just our public services under threat — kids are coming last, too. After years of cuts & underfunding, @CASO_SAEO workers are standing up for change.
