We watch as the voice of business under the guise of charitable donations {nl}takes over freedom of speech. I.e. centres, schools, universities, folk, {nl}jazz festivals tow the line. Artists can not be silenced through constant {nl}threat and fear of cutbacks. More homelessness joblessness and pay cuts and {nl}line ups for minimum wage jobs. I read in the paper the economy was getting {nl}better, is that why more people beg on the streets of Toronto? Is that why {nl}we have wage cutbacks? Have our tax dollars gone to corporate handouts and {nl}not to support the interests of working people... health... education jobs... {nl}homes... environment... Health... education... jobs... homes? Where is the front page news on what affects every one of us working people? We must continue the struggle for equality until the day there is no economic disparity because of the colour of our skin, whether we are male female or transgendered, until no one is hungry in a world full of food.
