I think that there is alot disinformation in regards to those on Ontario Works (welfare), transit and the clawing back of the child tax credit, in the article "McHattie explains support for fare increase". The reality is that his words did not echo the truth at all.

Fast forward to 2009, those who are on Ontario Works, especially those who are single, who have to live on $572.00 per month., which is an amount that does not cover rent, never mind food, transportation even to find work. The majority of the people posting here, do not have a clue. Never mind that some of the temp companies who charge exhoribant transportation costs to those at the lowest income scale, sometimes up to $20.00 per day.

The hypocrisy is that we have entrenched middle class employees who work for the system telling the people to walk from downtown to Nash Road because they need a bus ticket to get to a medical appointment. Yes that is what I call a compassion society, NOT!!!!

Keep closing your eyes people.

Those from the grassroots can affect change
