Barely anyone ever sees anything I tweet so I'm doubtful about trying this. Here goes, nonetheless:

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 ⤵️

▪️@fordnation is privatizing our public hospitals' surgeries and diagnostics
▪️They are midstream through privatizing the majority (>18,000 so far) of new #LTC beds in New 30-yr contracts
▪️They are privatizing the last remaining public parts of home care more>>>

▪️@fordnation cut access to public #COVID testing & then privatized it, even allowing the for-profit companies to charge $200+ for medically needed COVID tests in violation of the Canada Health Act
▪️They privatized the provision of vaccines to for-profit pharmacy chains
More>>>

▪️@fordnation is privatizing virtual doctor visits & letting companies charge for access to doctors, also a flagrant violation of the Canada Health Act
▪️In the childcare deal with Ottawa, they required the deal to increase the proportion for-profit childcare
>>> more

▪️Didn't they privatize something to do with disability #ODSP or social assistance?
▪️I'd like to collect other egs. of @fordnation's privatization of our public services. Do you know of any? Pls add them in the comments.

Wow. A heartfelt thank you everyone!

I am researching the leads you have sent.

I know there must be a lot more public services that @fordnation has privatized or is privatizing. Please keep the info coming. I will issue the first privatization index asap & build upon it.
