A Strange Anti-poverty Plan

The trauma of many in matters concerning the Toronto Transit Commission continue. Advocates for the poor are attacking the city administration for dragging their feet in creating a discounted transit pass for them. They say this is not consistent with Mayor Tory's anti-poverty plan - what a joke. A debate on the matter scheduled for October 26 has been delayed till December, and to think this is something the council voted to study in July 2014. Tory made it clear that it's unlikely any low-income fare policy will be implemented until late 2017 at the earliest. 
Under capitalism, if your poor don't expect politicians to bust their buns to help you. 
John Ayers.
