Daryl Kramp supports cuts to social services
September 22, 2015
To the Editor,
The Harper government, with the full support of Daryl Kramp, refuses to send fair transfer payments back to Ontario. This results in deep cuts to:
· Healthcare
· Education
· Mental Health
· Disability & Home Care Services
Against the wishes of Canadians, conservatives have also slashed funding to seniors, veterans, women’s centres, meat inspectors, police services, immigration, consumer safety, climate change research and environmental protection.
MP Kramp sends bi-weekly flyers designed in the PMO, knowing these are misleading propaganda meant to deceive and hide the facts. He sends weekly press releases to all papers saying he supports clean air or seniors or veterans, etc., etc. (after cutting those programs). Un-informed voters in conservative ridings are kept happy when he comes to town like Santa Claus, smiling for every photo-op.
If you feel there are less services and less employment available for the past 8 years, you are not alone. Look up w w w.votetogether.ca to see who is most likely to defeat the conservatives in your riding.
