WE DEMAND:
-Raise Welfare and Disability rates by 40% now!
-Stop the attacks: Give us the Special Diet!
-Defend Public Services

In 2003, the Liberals were elected on the promise of ‘change’. Those empty promises did nothing to end poverty. For poor people there is no difference between McGuinty and Harris: same program, different facade. The reality is that poor people in Ontario are worse off than we were 15 years ago. And now, things are about to get even worse.
