An "Occupy" Talk Tonight In Our Area

The Occupy movement continues, but in different forms and tonight there is a free talk in our area called What Gravy Train?
It starts at 7 pm at Canadian Friends Service Committe (which I've always known as the Quaker House) at 60 Lowther Avenue.

They will have something to celebrate because $20 million in proposed city budget cuts was just reversed by city council.

But I digress. About tonight, and I quote: "Over the last several decades, inequality has been steadily increasing, with the 1% enjoying ever higher concentrations of wealth, while members of the 99% experience greater poverty. What are the underlying factors that lead to this polarization of wealth? How do our economic and financial policies favour capital over ordinary people? How has the situation worsened since the financial meltdown? Who is paying the price and why? These are the questions our speakers will address in this critical panel discussion."

Cheers,
