A
budget passed by Alberta's provincial government has resulted in cuts
to homeless programs in several cities. On August 14, the Calgary
Star reported the Calgary Homeless Foundation would see its funding
cut by 8 per cent - a 3.2 million reduction. Homewood Trust
Edmonton, that works to end homelessness there, will see its funding
cut by $1.4 million, which is 5 per cent of the amount it gets from
the province.

Alberta's
Community and Social Services Minister, Rajan Sawney, said: ''Our
government is committed to protecting vulnerable Albertans, while
getting the province’s finances back on track,'' which is a typical
political way of just lying.
The
plain fact is, for the working class in Alberta, and elsewhere, life
ain't getting any easier. Yes folks, Andrew Ure’s infamous
Utilitarian words shine brightly in 21st century Canada: Work the
idle, and grind the poor!
Yours for Socialism,
