As a small tribute to the incomparable Harry Leslie Smith, we're making the ebook editions of his two Icon books - Harry's Last Stand and Love Among the Ruins - free with all ebook retailers over this weekend. Read and be inspired, as Harry always intended. #harrylesliesmith
.@Fordnation has lots of good things to say about Auditor-General Bonnie Lysyk and with good reason: she's smart & honest. So why barrel ahead with transit P3s when Lysyk has shown that P3s cost us billions more than we need to pay? tgam.ca/2RlwJzu @keeptransitpub #onpoli
Sending love & best wishes to @HarrysLastStand, in hospital right now in Belleville. A fierce, compassionate champion of public services like health care, Harry reminds us why everyday people fought for health care, and why we must fight to preserve it: bit.ly/2PMDMEl

It’s outrageous that @fordnation is continuing to hide details about #cannabis privatization deals from the public. It’s even worse that they’re calling ppl ‘idiots’ just for asking for basic transparency & accountability. Ontarians have a right to know. buff.ly/2Tdxo7k
Victory in Baltimore! By a significant majority, citizens have voted to ban forever the privatization of the city's water system. bit.ly/2zDFm0x #Onpoli #publicequalsbetter
Manitoba doctors are sounding the alarm about air ambulance privatization, saying it may compromise patient safety. Here in Ontario, we learned from @Ornge that privatization can be a one-way ticket to secrecy and a lack of accountability. bit.ly/2Phbguu #ManPoli #Onpoli
In Iowa, health care privatization could cost the GOP the governorship. Forbes reports that the disastrous sell-off of state Medicaid is a key issue in the election. Support for the scheme, which has cost tens of millions of dollars, has dropped below 30%. bit.ly/2yAwkSj

.@fordnation promised to govern for the people and end hallway medicine, but his actions have not reflected that promise. On Tues, October 23, rally with #OPSEU at Queen’s Park, and tell Ford "NO" to cuts and privatization! buff.ly/2QYBhee #onpoli

OPSEU president Smokey Thomas calls Premier Doug Ford’s plan to allow private retailers to sell cannabis “wacky” and “half baked”. #onpoli

Polling proves it: the people want responsible public retailer like #LCBO to keep cannabis & alcohol out of hands of kids & grandkids @OPSEUSmokey is at #QP to demand @FordNation craft responsible plan #ResponsiblePlan #onpoli #oct17 @MADDonline responsibleplan.ca

I urge municipal election candidates: ‘Just Say No’ to @fordnation’s privatization plans & say yes instead to a responsible plan based on a public retail model like the LCBO. @OPSEU #OnPoli #Ontario #Cannabis
