On November 28,the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty will mark 25 years of challenging those who impose poverty on our communities. Twenty five years is a long time but we're not putting on a party to mark the end of OCAP. Just the opposite, the need for community based resistance in the face of mounting austerity is greater than ever. We'll be having a major celebration to look back on the actions we've taken, the victories we've won, the lives we've impacted and the enemies we've made.

John Tory has not yet experienced having been homeless. The gloomy, sick, sombre feeling of being frightened to death until the despair turns into suicide then death. I was pronounced dead at the hospital but was revived. I was not able to accept that I was homeless, penniless and had nothing to eat.

John Tory is not in touch with reality. He thinks it's as simple as submitting your CV and getting hired right away. My girlfriend has to consume her $7 thousand dollar savings, denied unemployment insurance, then apply for welfare, then a two week stint and then jobless again. She is a college graduate and was willing to take odd jobs like cleaner in motels. Nonetheless, she's OFFICIALLY jobless and homeless and penniless.

More power to the Communist Party of Canada! There are no homeless persons in Cuba!

I will be there!
