Show Notes:
Listen to an interview with CUPE Ontario President Fred Hahn as he talks about the devastating effects cuts to public services and new user fees will have on average Ontarians.
From their press release:
Average Ontarians will pay the price for Don Drummond's radical austerity agenda if the McGuinty government implements his recommendations in next month's budget, says Fred Hahn, President of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Ontario.
"It is hard to believe the McGuinty government takes the vast majority of these recommendations seriously," said Hahn.
"If they do, they are clearly deviating from their campaign platform, and are going to make average Ontarians pay for a banker's ideas with drastic cuts to public services and a host of new user fees."
The Drummond Report seems to exist to create fear and prepare the public for deeper cuts than Ontario saw under the Mike Harris government.
