Those who are of an age will remember Margaret Thatcher's efforts in the 1980s to privatize water infrastructure in the UK.

The result for many communities was an unwanted visitation of sewage, raw sewage, in places it had no place being, and other such fun things.

And we only have to remember the dangers of not having a well operated and controlled and managed water system when we think back to the seven people who lost their lives and the many many more who became very ill from the e coli exposure in the town of walkerton years ago so the coalition partners council of canadians Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment, CUPE Ontario, Ontario Nature, Acorn Ontario, and the local Peel Regional Labour Council are asking you to demand of your politicians and candidates running for election that they resist the Ontario Water Business Corporation law.

Water is precious.
