By grassroots are the way forward (registered) | Posted January 21, 2010 at 10:08:30
Capitalist: Do you know of a place that is hiring, that will meet my skill level. I have been looking and well they does not seem to be anything really up in the area, you are boasting about.
I know that you tried to come across as someone who cares but when you read between the lines of your words, well one can get the inference of what you really stand for. Because I do not hear you really doing anything to change the system that would help people move forward.
I asked a question yesterday for you to supply a list of all these employers and their jobs and you supplied nothing really, considering so many in this city are looking for work and could be very well reading this blog and then you go on the attack mode today. Well your words say a lot about who you are.
Anyway, since I am not actively working, I do volunteer in the community and that is a contribution to our community in more ways then one.
At least I care about people and their circumstances and what the real cause of the deep poverty is. I guess you did not see this article in the spec, as those the working poor and those who have lost jobs are accessing these services just to eat

Or how about this ditty in the spec today

You will note these words: "We don't have resilient people in our community," he said.
"A whole bunch of them aren't able to commit themselves to our community because they spend half their time looking for food and shelter."
So everyone: Please say a prayer for me, I have applied for a job in Toronto, that I at least get an interview. Because you see Capitalist, maybe all my volunteer work, may give me the edge on this position and that I could be in a postion to empower people.
Those from the grassroots can affect change
