Uh, NO. We are NOT doing Walkerton again! Literally was the primary example in the epidemiology course I took during my PhD.
@fordnation, private services are NOT always better. We need safe water that is not subject to compromise for financial gain.
@JohnFraserOS, pls help.
Imagine how many ER nurses you could hire for the amount the Ontario government is using to defacto run a partisan campaign while they have a majority government for the foreseeable future. They spend our money on dumb stuff that doesn't matter. @TinaYazdani
Pressure on Toronto Liberal MP’s may be slowing momentum for jets at island airport. No time to let up. They can abandon Ford and stop it. They must.

Ford sure knows how to piss away gobs of your money in ways that deliver zero benefit to you. Gravy planes. Self congratulatory ads, Austrian spas. Ontario has had enough of this guy. Worst polling Premier ever.
NEW: we’re learning more about the cost of “Protect Ontario” ads to taxpayers.
FOI records show the cost for just one ministry to produce & run them last year was nearly $10 million.
The total the Ford government has spent across all ministries is expected to be much higher.
$1 billion dollars.
That’s how much money the Ford government is giving to private companies to run our public services and social agencies.
These services are facing worker layoffs and cuts. Where is the money going?
This is the exact question I’ve asked Ontario’s Auditor General to look into.

Y’all, not to be a huge nerd but for the reflecting pool you would need a minimum of about 8,000 liters of 12% hydrogen peroxide to reach the 50 parts per million concentration to kill algae…
Is this what happens when you have 0 scientists in your administration?
@TinaYazdani Doug Ford and his Cons wouldn't "win a massive majority today" if the RCMP did its job and charged and arrested Ford, Steve Clark, and others who corruptly tried to swindle Ontarians out of $8.4B in public value of Greenbelt lands, to gift it to Ford's crooked developer cronies.
Not unusual, politicians & staffers roll over to influence peddling immediately. Being elected, or a staffer, is an entry level position into the real $$.
Ford chief of staff, Pat Sackville, owned a lobby shop at the same time, lobbying his govt.
We don't talk about it enough.
His "keeping Ontario safe" ads are absolute bullshit. The ONLY way to keep Ontario safe is to get that fat grifting fuck out of office and send his corrupt cops with him.
It’s pretty incredible that the sketchiness around the Therme Ontario Place deal was a major story in the @nytimes but has warranted so little coverage in Canadian media outlets

@DFisman@nytimes It’s almost like the Toronto Star appointing political toady Marina Glogovac and the Premier’s office calling news outlets to request the firing of critical journalists has chilled the conversation…
@DrKateTO@DFisman@VancityReynolds A European megaspa company that lied up and down to get the sweetheart deal.
The whole purpose of the "private sector" is to have investors and take risks, but they've cornered corporate welfare while keeping their profits private ..
Don’t forget that Loblaws also buys up land and simply to stop other healthcare, grocery, physio, doctors office from building in the area 🤷
Besides gouging us over food and healthcare, they also own physio!
Galen owns distribution centres, so the costs should be cheapest😳
My latest. This story is based on FOI documents released before the Ford government changed the law. Under the new rules, the province will now be able to keep records like this secret.
