Prescott Group, a big organization to support people with disabilities in Halifax has issued a statement about the announced budget cuts. It's incredible how every day, more cruelties are coming out. Yet, Tim Houston describes them as fair, because they are hitting so many different groups....

"Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."
