Yet one conservative mayoral candidate, Brad Bradford — and the conservative think tank backing him — want to turn Toronto Water into a separate corporation.

Of course, the proponents insist their proposal isn’t privatization. They say a separate corporation would let Toronto borrow more by securing new debt against our water infrastructure. But we all know that if you default on the debt, the lender can force its sale. Do we want to put our water infrastructure in that position? Never.

Vote like your water depends on it and tell your friends.
