Rob Ford and Stephen Harper are cutting, privatizing and contracting out vital public services. The McGuinty Liberals are giving corporations a $2.4-billion annual tax break while cutting jobs and services. And Tim Hudak’s Tories plan to start cutting where Mike Harris left off. Join friends, neighbours, and labour and community activists for a discussion of the October 6th Ontario provincial election, what our communities have at stake, and how we can make a difference.
