The vast majority of Ontarians do not want this. Now is when we must make that visible, when we must organize that opposition into real resistance, & when we must raise our voices in no uncertain terms & make it politically impossible to implement. #PublicHospitalVote

I'm creating a @fordnation privatization index listing all the public services Ford is privatizing. Ppl need to know. Can you add any egs. that you know? Here's a start ⤵️
