Ron: Glad to see an attempt @ Organization being built upon. I DO
NOT have the Prov. or Fed #'s of those collecting in Ontario or
NATIONWIDE, but I do know that --if galvanized-- there is a Reality
in the presentation "POVERTY AS A VOTING BLOCK". . There is
strenght in #'s. . . The Powers That Be count on a LACK of
Organization & SHAME-- to further "disable" those not holding an LLB.
-- (trying to decipher the Act, in an attempt to UNDERSTAND our
RIGHTS). -- Harris, having REMOVED SOCIAL WORKERS from the servicing
of this system, created a future whereby Our Future is decided by
Caseworkers who behave as if these funds are directly from THIER
Personal pockets. Literature & Geography & Beancounter Majors all
looking for the SECURITY of a Gov't Job. Those able/qualified, on
ODSP, should be eligible for PT Work with the Gov't. --Laptops & Home
computers now allow MANY to work from Home. We'd be "freeing-up"
REDUNDANT/Unnecessary OFFICES for Housing Conversions! There is
shame @ the bottom of our "gratitude" for $20.00 'CARROTS/Increases. I
no longer have children in the home & I don't know what I would be
driven to do if I did.
I'm sticking to this1 Offshot of Fireside in the moment as I am not
certain what ALL these splinter groups can do if not REPRESENTING A
WHOLE.--- I am aware of the problems posting @ Fireside (moderator
dependant) & I understand the Frustration. -- And, as you gather, I
do NOT know how to cut & paste! My Apologies!! -- At the Bottom Of
It,-- the present Worldwide Economic Climate--the trickle down so to
speak- does not bode well for the Serfs crying "more peas please,..."
but I WILL RIDE THAT HORSE!
