Show detail Hide detail

This is a discussion between Elizabeth Gray, Karin Wells and Avril Benoît about efforts to fight against poverty and homelessness in Canada, with emphasis on vocal and drastic efforts being made by advocacy groups such as the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty (OCAP). One of the best known members of OCAP is John Clarke. The group uses such militant tactics as protest demonstrations. Subjects discussed include: the frustration of groups and individuals because there is little being done to solve the problems of poverty and homelessness; frustration at the high cost of conferences and task forces; and food banks. Included is actuality of: a protest demonstration and representations by various individuals and groups to members of Toronto city council. An individual home owner from a neighbourhood where rent-to-income housing, special needs housing and housing for the homelessness have been built, complains about litter, drunkenness, profanity and crime, while others in the room interrupt him and shout “NIMBY”, for “not in my backyard”. John Clarke says that homeowners concerned about what is happening to their neighbourhoods are bigots. They also read letters from listeners who respond to the issues discussed in the series. <22mn 53s>
