I do not believe that health promoters can work with the likes of Harris and
Klein.  When the Ontario government cut welfare benefits by 22%, they wiped
out, with one stroke of a pen, the works of hundred of person years of health
promoters that have been working to build communities, and enable people.

They know what the effects on poor people are.  They cannot know!  The Globe
and Mail, Star, radio stations, Dick Smythe, thousands of fax messages and
demonstrations told them what the effects were.

The Catholic Church, United Church and the Jewish Rabbis told them about the
effects on the poor [for Christ's sake!]!  The belief that they are concerned about
those without voices is absurd.

They do not care!  Period.  For Alana and others to see these guys as being
misguided, or somehow uninformed, is naive at best, immoral at worst.  For HP to
lobby for "breakfast programs", a few crumbs to work on healthy communities
coaltions, and other such "health promotion programs"  during this onslaught on
the poor is not acceptable.  Sorry. Get these guys out.  Period.
