A number of the Ottawa Raging Grannies, Ann, Jake, Jo, Ria, Shannon joined the ACORN antipoverty group in a protest at Dalton McGuinty’s office. We were protesting the freeze on welfare and disability payments in the provincial budget, particularly harsh since the cost of living is forever rising. We sang two of our anti-poverty songs, “It’s a Long Way to the Food Bank” with “McGuinty” substituted for “Harris” whose attack on the poor inspired the words. We also sang “Flaw in the System“, as true now as ever.
