Canadian activists need your help fighting PPP's!

Richard Neal | 16.04.2002 09:46

A particularly nasty ans ultra right-wing provincial govenment is planning on introducing PPP's here in Canada. We need your help and advice to help fight the introduction of the creeping privatisation of our health, education and social service systems. Does anyone have any suggestions, tactics, strategies or tips on how to counter this terrible threat to public control of public institutions?

I am aware that the govenments' of Thatcher, Major and Blair have all promoted the introduction of PPP's into many sectors of the UK public sphere, much to the detriment of those services ,and, to the public as a whole.

Now, our ultra-right wing provincial government in British Columbia appears to be taking a leaf out of Mr Blairs book by attempting to introduce PPP's to every governmental department that exists; from health, education, social services, environment . . . the list goes on. I believe that this will be a disaster for the citizens of British Columbia, and am asking activists and concerned individuals in the UK to share their thoughts and ideas with me, in an attempt to counter the growing threat of the corporate takeover of the public domain. We need every tip, hint, suggestion, tactic and strategy that can de-rail, undermine and counter this insidious and harmful policy.

Please forward/post any comments, resources etc. to me ASAP. In advance, I thank you for help.

Regards,

Richard,
and on behalf of every Canadian citizen . . .THANKS!
