Ned Yeung<p>After taking over Alberta Health Services property to "lease" them back to AHS, so that Danielle Smith's ever-growing private surgery clinics can now take over formerly public infrastructure, the UCP is now doing the same to municipal public schools in Calgary and Edmonton (both cities have the same joint-use agreements between the city and school boards).</p><p>Basically, land owned by the city and the public/catholic school boards are jointly used to provide play and recreation to the community. The UCP wants to strip municipalities of these properties, letting them be turned over to private "charter" schools, which have now been renamed to "independent schools" in Alberta to hide their private ownership, following the UCP's long-term plan started under Jason Kenney as "Choice in Education" to put ever more public funds into the hands of private schools.</p><p>This is absolutely horrifying. When they did this to our healthcare system, it was absolutely horrifying. It's just horrors compounded upon horrors, as the UCP continues to gut our public healthcare and education systems, to privatize every important need and put our public dollars into the hands of profiteering middlemen so they can reduce our services while increasing our costs, to further their profit margin. I am livid.</p><p><a href="https://www.sprawlcalgary.com/bill-51-public-school-property-ownership" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">sprawlcalgary.com/bill-51-publ</span><span class="invisible">ic-school-property-ownership</span></a></p><p>Further reading on Edmonton's Joint Use Agreement: <a href="https://www.epsb.ca/schools/communityuse/jointuse/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">epsb.ca/schools/communityuse/j</span><span class="invisible">ointuse/</span></a></p><p>Further reading on Calgary's Joint Use Agreement: <a href="https://www.calgary.ca/planning/joint-use-planning-agreement.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">calgary.ca/planning/joint-use-</span><span class="invisible">planning-agreement.html</span></a></p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/abpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>abpoli</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/yeg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>yeg</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/yyc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>yyc</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/privatization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>privatization</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>education</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/healthcare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>healthcare</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>capitalism</span></a></p>

Nicky🦨✌️<p>Did you read about Florida’s new passenger rail?

The contracted maintenance company receives city tax money to keep this park clean and safe. The company takes the money and doesn’t even use it to pay for trash services. And advocates for privatization often say “I don’t have kids using these facilities anymore why should i have to pay for it?” For the same reason your parents paid for it, “boomer,” for our country’s future generations. (Across the street the park is under city control)</p>
