The Downside Of Full Employment & Strong Economy

It reduces the number of people at rallies supporting social in-activists. Btw, what is the difference between unions & labour groups. Is the implication that if you are a member of a union you don't labour? And I have to wonder how many of the protesters were really hungry.

Hundreds of protesters converged at the Ontario Legislature on Wednesday to try to make poverty a top issue in next month's provincial election, disrupting traffic downtown.

Demonstrators -- which included members of student groups, unions, labour groups and social justice agencies -- gathered on the lawn of Queen's Park to demand action on homelessness, the minimum wage and the increasing cost of tuition.

Police erected barricades and kept a close eye on the rally, but the event, organized by the Toronto Anti-Poverty coalition, was peaceful.

"Stop the war on the poor and make the rich pay; we're hungry, we're angry," protestors chanted, while banging drums and waving placards.
