Support a People¹s Budget to Make Ontario Fair for Everyone
 
Dear friend,
 
Ontario has a new Premier, but we have the same challenges.
 
Cuts to jobs and services have hurt communities just like yours and more
than 40 percent of Ontario families are falling behind.
 
We need to change the conversation on Austerity and make Ontario better for
everyone.
 
I¹m inviting you to join with community groups, small businesses, trade
unions and your friends and neighbours to share your ideas for a ³People¹s
Budget² for Ontario at www.thepeoplesbudget.ca
<http://ofl.ca/index.php/thepeoplesbudget/> . 
 
Here¹s how you can make your voice heard.
 
First, download our Green Paper, ³Towards a People¹s Budget for Ontario,² by
clicking here <http://bit.ly/YuJ4Bb> .
 
Then prepare your comments or ideas on how the next provincial budget can
make Ontario better for everyone. It can be a few sentences, a report, or
even a video you record yourself.
 
Ideas can be sent by email to ideas at thepeoplesbudget.ca
<mailto:ideas at thepeoplesbudget.ca>  or submitted online through our website
<http://www.thepeoplesbudget.ca> . Documents and video submissions can also
be uploaded.  
 
Please download, print and share this pamphlet
<http://ofl.ca/wp-content/uploads/peoples-budget-pamphlet-web.pdf> with your
friends and neighbours.
Help promote the campaign through social media:
www.Facebook.com/ThePPLsBudget <http://www.Facebook.com/ThePPLsBudget>
www.Twitter.com/ThePPLsBudget <http://www.Twitter.com/ThePPLsBudget>
and by using the hashtag: #PPLsBudget <http://www.Twitter.com/#PPLsBudget>
 
We will compile all of the submissions into a ³People¹s Budget for Ontario²
that we will present to the government.
  <http://www.Twitter.com/#PPLsBudget>
Details about community consultations are also available on the website
<http://www.thepeoplesbudget.ca> .  Events are planned for Brampton,
Hamilton, Kitchener-Waterloo, London, Ottawa, Sudbury, Thunder Bay, Toronto,
Windsor.
 
After all, this province belongs to all of us!
 
Thanks,
 <http://www.thepeoplesbudget.ca>
Sid Ryan,
President, Ontario Federation of Labour
