-Raise Welfare and Disability rates by 40% now!

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.

Kenney and Harper are waging a covert war against immigrants and refugees. Swift legislative changes are gutting the refugee system. More and more people are on temporary work programs living in poverty, separated from families, paying taxes, and surviving without the most basic access to social services.

With one hand, Canada and its friends push people out of their homes. With the other, they slam the door, shutting us out. The few of us that are allowed in are funneled into temporary work programs.
