Privatization matters
Ontario's Liberal government is privatizing the services you rely on - including Ontario Hydro. From our experience with Highway 407, eHealth and Ornge, we know privatization doesn't save money, it costs money. Selling Hydro One will be no better. We'll get higher electricity prices, lost revenue and foreign ownership. And if we lose control of it now, it will be very hard to get it back.
Privatization is already costing more and delivering less in Ontario as the government is privatizing IT work, medical lab testing and other public services. And now, Ontario Liberals plan to increase private alcohol sales - a lucrative source of funding for health and education.
It's time to push back against privatization. Let's use our power to protect public assets and services - for all Ontarians.
