Yes I agree that the grassroots groups can be an effective part for change. But part of the change is to inform others that the political divide between party lines, as this division is part of the problem, when the voices of the people go unheard by the perspective parties.

Ryan: What you failing to see is that many in our community are struggling and while there has been some allowing of the voices of the people to participate, the voices from the people is still falling on deaf ears.

Look at the grandparents from ROCK, when it was the City itself that initiated the direct following of the letter of the law, yet now, we have our Mayor, saying he will write the province. As the voices from those that struggle is getting louder.

Radical, well did not those, workers, as in the Winnipeg General Strike in 1919 be considered radical in today's standards? What are the people left with, when their voices go unheeded or unheard?

I guess I have to offer the following: You got paid to be an co-ordinator, why did you not volunteer, if the issue was so important? There are many in this community, those that struggle who volunteer for many things and do not expect to get paid. A little bit of hyprocrisy, maybe??????????
