STOP THE LIBERAL WAR ON THE POOR
Raise the Rates March to the Ontario Liberal Party Convention
Saturday, March 22nd, 2014
Assemble at Metro Hall, King and John, 1.00 PM
Meal, rally and March
“Our pots and pans are empty, bring yours to bang!!!!!”
Kathleen Wynne is every inch a Liberal. She talks about poverty reduction
while imposing deeper poverty on communities. She has been a leading
member of the Government all along while social assistance (OW and ODSP)
rates have lost even more of their spending power. She was a cabinet
minister while the minimum wage was frozen, while the Special Diet was
slashed and while the Community Start Up and Maintenance Benefit was being
eliminated. There is no question that the Liberals added their own misery
to the brutal cuts that the Harris Tories imposed in 1995. Today a single
person on Ontario Works is expected to survive on just $626 a month, while
rent and cost of living continues to rise beyond reach. As we head into
another round of provincial elections in the spring, we will not be swayed
by fake gestures and empty rhetoric from any politicians.
We’re going to march on the Convention to demand from all parties:
• Raise OW and ODSP 55% to restore the spending power lost since 1995!
• Provide a $14 an hour minimum wage fully indexed to inflation!
• Fully restore the Special Diet and Community Start Up Benefits!
• No merger of OW and ODSP, stop the attack on Disability benefits!
For information on how you can help build or participate in this March and
Rally call the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty (OCAP) at (416) 925-6939

*Buses coming in from Sudbury, Kingston, Kitchener-Waterloo and more –
