Five years under the Harris Tories has made on thing clear: we are
all targets.  Whether it is privatizing water, forcing workfare on
Indian communities, gutting health care and labour standards, or
slashing affordable housing-this government remains determined to
oppress, steal wages and let people go hungry out of its negligence
and greed.

The Ontario Coalition Against Poverty has called for a fall campaign
of economic disruption to stop this government from enriching
themselves and their business friends on the backs of poor, the
working poor and those fortunate enough to make a living wage.

Anti-poverty organizations, unions, first nations communities and
others are quickly joining this campaign to hit the Tories where they
will most feel it-their wallets!  Attend this panel discussion to
hear more and to raise questions.

Organized by the Ottawa Coalition Against the Tories a new group of
Ottawa area activists which has formed to work in solidarity with
OCAP, the labour movement and other organizations to fight the Harris
government.
