[news] We don't need a doctor's note to tell us we're hungry!

[Resist!ca]

"On May 12, a crowd of over four hundred poor people and supporters took the fight for decent income right to the doorstep of the Liberal most responsible for imposing hunger on our communities, Minister of Social Services Sandra Pupatello. OCAP, ...and supporters... marched to the Ministry to demand that the $250 a month special diet supplement be given to all 760,000 welfare and disability recipients in Ontario without their having to jump through bureaucratic hoops. Right now people can access the previously little known supplement only by finding a medical practitioner ready to state the obvious - that the pittance provided by the McGuinty Government does not allow people to pay the rent and eat properly at the same time."
