It is not only the province's unwillingness to confront socioeconomic issues of low income individuals and families, it is also their outright contempt for individuals who are anything less than middle/upper income contributing members of society. The provincial government is targeting ODSP, special diet subsidy, mental health for homeless/poor/disabled Ontarians, community support services and any and all citizens who have much better things to do then surf the Ontario government's website and/or call a toll free number to get "advice" on eating healthy food. Now we have a healthy eating/active living "policy" that preaches to the converted and a wonderful nuclear energy policy that flies in the face of everything democratic and environmentally sound. While I personally did not agree with most of the health and social initiatives or policies forwarded by the previous Tory government in Ontario, at least they didn't try to hide their ignorance and contempt for the working class and vulnerable populous, this government is determined to demonstrate to all that they don't understand the issues facing their constituents, nor do they really give a damn about making the province a healthier, more equitable place to live. I must admit that I thought the idea of a Health Promotion ministry was ludicrous in the first place, now it appears that my scepticism was dead right. LS ------------------- Problems/Questions?
