They cut health care to refugees

Concerned Canadians are calling on the federal government
to open the doors to refugees from Syria. What many people don’t know
is that not is the federal
government turning away people in need, they slashed refugee health
care too.
This means that when refugees finally
arrive in Canada after the harrowing experience of fleeing their
homes, many find they have no access to the health care services they
need. No coverage for life saving medications, no urgent
mental health care for traumatized children, and no prostheses and
therapy for war-related amputations and injuries.[1,2]
Now that we’re in the last weeks of the election, vulnerable Conservative MPs are hoping Canadians have forgotten about the cuts to refugee...

Please join us THIS WEDNESDAY, the 23rd: SocialCoast presents "Clock Out, Rise Up!", a celebration of the worker and fightin' the man.
Clock Out, Rise Up!
Has “the man” got you down? You work hard, yet that break you received at work today was rather sub-par, wasn’t it? Is that lighting that you work under a bit too fluorescent? Have you been staring out the window, restless like a tiger in captivity? Well dear friend, the day is done and it’s time to clock out. You’re free to go into the night, kick off your boots (“polishable” black shoes perhaps) and share in some laughter with genuine, fun-loving people.Read more: This WEDNESDAY, September 23rd - Clock Out, Rise Up!
