Spring cleaning closed the Abbotsford Salvation Army today [Wednesday May 25/16].
With the Meal Centre behind closed, locked doors, the meal became bagged lunches served at the front door.
Unfortunately for some, lunch service was stopped, the remaining bagged lunches given away and the doors locked before 1:15 PM.
So, when the City of Abbotsford descended upon the homeless camp on Gladys Avenue, began erecting the fence and, backed by the presence of the Abbotsford police, coerced the homeless to move or lose their belongings where did letter writer C. Howard think the homeless would go – Saskatchewan?
The change to PWD [person with disability] announced in the Budget has set off a firestorm.
The change would seem to be about fairness, not about livability.
Al least I hope it is not about the cost of living in the lower mainland. If the premier, the finance minister and the Liberal caucus think that a $77.00 increase in PWD reflects the cost of living in the lower mainland the citizens of BC are in deep, deep trouble given how out of touch with economic reality that would be. .
