Working families to the Province: We Pay our bills, why can't you?


Fund Social housing – We deserve to live above the municipal code!

Upload Social Assistance – The city can’t pay social assistance off property taxes!

No more TTC fare hikes – Restore the provincial cuts to the capital budget!

ACORN and Toronto and York Region Labour Council are working together to win a fair deal for the City of Toronto. Each year billions of tax dollars go from Toronto to the Province and Federal government, yet Toronto only gets 6 cents of every tax dollar to deliver public services like affordable housing, transit, social assistance, parks, child care and public health. As a result we have constantly rising TTC fares, and constantly deteriorating public housing.

We are seeking $5,000 in monthly pledges so we can continue to engage, mobilize and organize Canada’s working family neighbourhoods around this issue. With a provincial election looming, ask yourself, if Ontario’s working families could be mobilized in large enough numbers to compel the Ontario government to take action on a fair deal for Toronto, how much money would you be willing to contribute to making it happen?
