At some point, this site might get enough traffic to make money off AdSense ads. Assuming it's even a polite enough site to qualify.
But if money was raised from this site, what would be the absolute most awesome way to spend it? I've thought of various things, like sponsoring a vitamin program in a soup kitchen, or trying to sponsor some allergen-free, organic meals, or make the first organic food bank or something... but that's all just piling on to a system that sucks bad enough already. Probably Food Not Bombs would be a good choice for donating to, but it'd be nice to spend it on something political. Something that could create change. I mean, it'd be silly to do something big and flashy when we could just feed people, but is there some kind of publicity stunt we could pull that would shame the province? That's what we all really want, isn't it? To shame the province and the public into giving up on their oppression campaign against us. Or maybe to inspire them into it?
I'd like to get some feedback... let's say we had a thousand bucks to throw around. What would be a really great way to really hurt the politicians who've been hurting us? It'd be great to be able to reach out and really, really hurt them, badly. Politically. Like, what could we do to punish Mike Harris, with a thousand bucks? Or Kathleen Wynne, or Dalton McGuinty? Could we like... buy an attack ad on all three of them? Could we buy an attack ad against our own society at large? Maybe we could buy some radio ads, like PSAs, with some of OCAP's "poverty by the numbers" stuff quoted?
Or maybe we could make a documentary about systemic, strategic, manufactured poverty in Ontario and the rest of Canada?
Sanctuary doesnt offer food to outside needy until after Winter officially starts, and until spring begins. you need to sleep there to eat there
ReplyDelete40 oak is a closed program now. you need to be apart of the system of 40 oaks to eat there. I went there and the door was closed, even thou i saw people eating
ReplyDeletethat must have been fucking brutal... that's what happened to me today at the 519... because you're right, they changed it
DeleteThey're actually open to the public still. If you press the "wheelchair accessible" button at the front entrance the door will open.
Deletewe're talking about their sunday meal program... and mealtrans, although Robeon's saying MealTrans ain't happening
Deletethe 519 meals are only served to those who ARE LGBT. and are only on sunday. and not every sunday
ReplyDeleteugh... not every sunday? I can't believe things are getting worse and not better... first the food turns to shit and then the programs just start dropping like flies
Deletejust want to say big thanks to Robeon for bringing forward the intel... the map and calendar still haven't been changed to reflect this stuff, and the articles haven't been updated about 40 oaks, an article about the change there still needs to be written, but at least it's on here, at least there's the comments section, and it gets indexed just as well as any of the article contents so that often makes up for the lack of editorial resources
