To my fellow alkies who are really scared about a potential LCBO strike: The employees striking are NOT the enemy The enemy is ALWAYS the CEO/boss who refuses to compensate their workers fairly Our fear & anger should be directed toward the bosses who are refusing a fair deal

Ontario earned $2.5 billion last year from the LCBO. Doug Ford is privatizing which will cost the government billions. And replacing well paying jobs with minimum wage convenience and grocery store jobs which in no way benefits our economy. Corrupt stupidity.

Support LCBO workers. That’s $2.5 Billion Ford and his friends want to take away from our public coffers.

12:01am, it's official: LCBO workers are on strike across the province! 💪. Fighting for a better Ontario where public revenues stay in public hands. Welcome to Doug Ford's dry summer 🚫💧#LCBOWorkersFightBack #KeepItPublic #ONpoli

Governments are always struggling to find revenue streams. The LCBO generates $2.5 billion in annual revenue. It is a revenue producing asset - no wonder private corporations are clamouring to get their greedy little hands on it. But this isn’t in the public interest - and the

It makes me furious that Doug Ford can publish an interactive map to find beer after just one weekend but he won’t do the same thing to help any of the 2.3 million Ontarians who can’t find a family doctor. #onpoli #onhealth

FACT CHECK ✅ $2.5B from LCBO sales funds our province?! taxes + SALES = public revenue for schools & hospitals 🥂 That’s why WE lose out when alcohol sales are privatized. STOP FORD from handing YOUR DOLLARS to BILLIONAIRES.🤑 keepitpublic.ca #FordsDrySummer

1. Who paid for this map? 2. Who decides who gets on the map? These are independent for-profit businesses. 3. Where's our map to find a family doctor? 4. Where's our map for ER wait times? 5. Why would you vote for a Premier that won't stand behind services we own and operate?

During the biggest pandemic in 100 years, Doug Ford’s PC gov’t left it to volunteers to create a system to locate life-saving vaccines. Less than 3 days into the #LCBO strike, his gov’t has made and launched an interactive map to locate alcohol anywhere in Ontario.

I’m hearing folks say liquor privatization won’t matter because businesses pay taxes on sales. Unfortunately that’s not true. LCBO generates revenue-not just tax proceeds-that make up that $2.5B. Loblaws isn’t going to hand over their profit to fund healthcare and education.

#ONpoli NEW: Doug Ford government pre-arranged Google advertising for their new alcohol finder website. Yet another sign that they pre-planned the LCBO strike.

Doug Ford's Conservative to-do-list: Spend taxpayer dollars mapping out liquor stores, not family doctors. Absurd.

NEW: The Ontario Liberals are calling for the resignation of LCBO chair Carmine Nigro over his close ties with Premier Doug Ford. Leader Bonnie Crombie argues the LCBO Board, under Nigro, is "no longer working in the best interests" of Ontarians. #onpoli

Ford is spending time and money on an interactive map to find booze, Ontarians are speaking up: Where is our map of family doctors? Where is our map for ER wait times? Send a letter now: keepitpublic.ca

LCBO stores to remain closed for the duration of the strike. It’s on @FordNation to end #FordsDrySummer – he’s the one who forced the strike. Send the LCBO back to the table ready to negotiate a deal that protects good jobs & public revenues. More info:⤵️opseu.org/uncategorized/…

Doug Ford provoked a 10,000 worker strike and is cutting a healthcare revenue stream so he can put Whiteclaw Tequila Smash and other drinks targeted at young people into 7-Eleven stores Meanwhile housing, ERs, jobs…

Some very clear leadership issues at the LCBO. "George Soleas, the head of the LCBO is managing a public crown corporation at the same time as he sits on the board of a big business lobby group that is actively lobbying Doug Ford’s government to privatize alcohol sales."

This continued corruption by the ⁦Doug Ford⁩ government absolutely angers and disgusts me. pressprogress.ca/lcbo-president…

I know I'm probably going to lose followers for this, but, I have to be me, and I have to be true to myself... So, here goes.... Doug Ford is overtly corrupt and actively harming our province. Poilievre is a snake oil salesman, trying to weasel his way into power. #SV4A🐊

For those of you CONservatives who STILL believe the decline in healthcare is Justin Trudeau fault, ask Doug Ford why he has cut $21 billion in funding to hospitals. Where is that healthcare money going? Enough of the bullshit! Put blame where it belongs #cdnpoli #cdnpolitics
