College and university students held a mock coroner’s inquest Thursday outside provincial government offices at 900 Bay Street in Toronto to bring attention to the “death” of social services by the McGuinty government.
“Finance minister Dwight Duncan recently foreshadowed budgetary cuts and we’re here to say that Ontarians need help through this recession, we need social supports and services,” said Shelley Melanson, Chairperson of the Canadian Federation of Students – Ontario, organizers of today’s event held to raise awareness of events taking place across Ontario on the November 5 Day of Action.
