Ming Pao News: 倡Wi-Fi月費降至10元以惠及低收入家庭
有團體昨發表報告，指高昂的互聯網費用，對低收入家庭是沉重負擔；有家庭為了支付上網費，減少食物和租金等必須開支。組織要求當局強制互聯網供應商，將低收入家庭的高速互聯網費用降至每月10元。
Toronto ACORN was founded in 2004, with the first organized group in Canada being formed in Weston / Mt Dennis after tenants took their slum-lord to task and won $250,000 in rent abatements. In the next ten years Toronto ACORN spread to every part of the city leading the fight and winning significant victories including raising the minimum wage; strengthening of the enforcement of apartment building standards; regulating the payday loan industry in Canada; and countless improvements in our neighbourhoods. In the next year we plan to fight for a new Residential Tenancy Act; to turn up the heat on predatory lenders that sell consolidation loans; to continue our fight to get the city of Toronto to license all landlords in the city; and to keep the pressure on to close the digital divide.
Toronto ACORN has local meetings in your neighbourhood and they are always open for new people to get involved. Join Toronto ACORN now!
