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.
