Four reports on homelessness five committees three round tables and two talking circles.. populated by city council members and attended by our local Members of Parliament. ( I refuse to call them honorable )

Despite the provincial governments commitment to reducing poverty by 25%. To date all that’s been accomplished in our community is a 500 thousand dollar cutback to services and programs.

I’m a recipient of ODSP and a humanitarian to the core. I’ve helped one woman who was living in a tent. I opened a room that DSSAB deemed ineligible for recent retrofit funding.

There’s always room for one more..

I stopped a woman from eating out of a dumpster. I gave her my food bank rations.. because it was decided at an administrative level, that people would only be allowed to access food banks once every three months.

I couldn’t allow myself to turn my back on an elderly woman who was sleeping in her car. It was decided that our woman’s shelter couldn’t help because she was not running from an abusive situation.

I called the shelter and reminded them that people can not run from this type of municipal abuse.

There is no shelter from narrow minded policies..

These do nothing reports and malicious cutbacks immediately following the province’s so called commitment to poverty reduction are beyond insulting.. it’s an indicator of a genocide by pen.

The real revolution will not be televised.. Protester’s will be profiled as a threat to national security & Patriots will be labeled as terrorists.

Welcome to your New World Order..
