Dear friends

There is a school of thought that (quite reasonably I think) points to a 
guaranteed income as a complement (at least) to calls for Minimum wage 
increases eg at:

     http://www.livableincome.org/links.htm

But some way of introducing a Maximum Income has be found, too, if good 
health is to be created. N'est ce pas?!

Love 2(u) all

>How much mobilization has there been in Toronto around raising the minimum wage? A colleague at the University of Ottawa is trying to organize a support letter campaign and asked if similar action could here in Toronto. I prefer not to duplicate but to support action already underway to push for this change.
