Apr 25, 2026 - Stop the privatization of our hospitals

When: April 25th - various times and locations in Ontario

Since the inception of public hospitals in Ontario, no government has undertaken privatization like this.

The Ford government has announced almost $300 million for 61 new private surgical and diagnostic clinics. By Ford's own numbers, this will redirect 1.2 million patients away from public hospitals. This is truly unprecedented privatization of our public hospitals' core services.

While pouring our public money into more expensive for-profit clinics and hospitals, our local public hospitals have been pushed into deficit by the Ford government.
