Council of Canadians retweeted
Thanks to @mahdishabibinia for her impeccable explainer on the @BradMBradford campaign promise to privatize Toronto's water. Thanks to her & @TorontoStar for putting journalistic integrity ahead of sleazy & transparent attacks. #keepwaterpublic
My statement regarding Brad Bradfordâs campaignâs public comments about my reporting in the @TorontoStar on Sunday:
"Mark Carney is mirroring the US president by radically centralizing power within his office and cabinet and taking a hatchet to dozens of laws protecting environmental, Indigenous and labour rights, all in order to enact his economic agenda."

Airport fees will pad profits for investment funds.
Transport minister wonât guarantee prices wonât go up after airport privatization, promises fees will be âpartially regulatedâ ctvnews.ca/canada/article/trâŠ
Council of Canadians retweeted
Privatization means that you pay more. Private profits do not appear out of thin air.
In the case of airport privatization abroad, private investors extract profit from airports through staffing cuts and fee increases for travellers and airlines. Â
