I am opposed to selling or leasing the public assets of my community - which includes our public schools, post offices, public parks and beaches, our water supply and road ways - to private companies. I am opposed the Infrastructure Trust which will cause the public to pay private firms for the use of public goods, services and facilities.
If any such privatization or corporatization program is proposed for my community I want it placed on the ballot so we, the citizens, can vote to accept or reject such a scheme via binding referendum.

why would we want to pay private firms for roads we already paid for with our taxes?? this is a bad idea leave it alone.
THESE ARE OUR PARKS NOT SOME CEOs PLAYGROUND. DO NOT SELL WHAT BELONGS TO US ALL.
Keep our stuff public. Tired of corporations trying to squeeze every cent out of us for things we already own.
Stop selling off our future.
The people need to be the ones who decide this stuff at the ballot box. Privatization hurts the regular working person every time.

I 've lived in Ontario a long time all of my life then why would I opt myself up to pay more when I have less. I say NO, NO, NO to the privatization of Ontario public water.
