Nancy Baroni & Nancy Peckford (Canadian Feminist Alliance for International Action), John Foster (North-South Institute), and Armine Yalnizyan (Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives) wrote the Canadian chapter in Social Watch this year.
In their chapter Economic stimulus 2009: opportunity lost, they lament the federal government's weak and delayed injection of stimulus funds into economy to help reverse the recession.
"Budget 2009 was an opportunity for the Government to lessen the blow of the recession by focusing on the most vulnerable citizens," they write, "but political jockeying led to a short-sighted economic stimulus plan that does not meet the needs of the thousands of citizens feeling the brunt of the crisis."

The CCPA Monitor is the only place I know that one can go to for accurate and honest reporting on the state of the world. I would hate like hell to ever be without The CCPA Monitor; it would be like losing my sight and my hearing. I heartily recommend it to anybody who gives a damn about the condition of the world.
