Poverty and the Provincial Budget

Health, Jobs, and Resistance

On March 25th The McGuinty government released Ontario's 2010 budget which announced the cut to The Special Diet Allowance. Even before the predicted cuts to public services, poor and working people are being forced to endure the devastating brunt of the recession. From piecemeal job cuts to impudent attacks on social programs, provincial policies are already starving Ontario families.

Visit The Ontario Coalition Against Poverty's website to get more information and to join the fight to raise social assitance rates and re-instate The Special Diet.
