With a budget that mentions the word “poverty” zero times, the Provincial government has once again made its contempt for low and moderate income Ontarians clear.

Weston ACORN members and tenants from 2450, 2460, and 2240 Weston Road held a rally to demand that Q Residential complete the repairs that are badly needed in their buildings.

A number of homeless people who have been living under the Gardiner Expressway near Spadina and Bathurst were given eviction notices by the City in January. Most have no where else to go.

The federal government says it is financing a new rental housing project in Etobicoke with the aim of bolstering the city’s dwindling rental stock.

Ontario ACORN members took action on March 14th as they continue to hold the Province accountable and resist cuts.
