I think the Greenbelt thing was one thing - Doug allowing his buddies to profit using inside help - but this Skills Development thing is something else entirely: Doug giving our money to buddies to enrich them - and to help get Doug re-elected.

Doug Ford wants to privatize our water.
The latest twist👇 in the tale of Thames Water, which supplies drinking water to 1/4 of 🇬🇧. The local connection is that British Columbia Investment Management Corp (BCI) + BC Public Sector Pension Plans have owned 8.7% of the utility during its financial implosion and litany of leaks + spills. 1/x
Why is Thames Water in so much trouble?
Thames Water's lenders have submitted a new rescue plan to save the firm, but how did it end up in this state?
