Today was busy - worked along Brophy, Avon, St. Lawrence and North Market Streets and Wood Avenue and finished off on Weeks Drive. I met people challenged by their physical disabilities and concerned over their inability to find meaningful work, even though they are willing and able to do a job. They want the satisfaction of contributing in the workplace. I spoke to a firefighter who is concerned over the provincial government's refusal to provide special insurance for protection against certain cancers associated with fire fighting.
Still hearing talk of the urgent need for change, indignation over promises made now - if dollars were there before why wasn't the government using them to help Islanders? and disdain at the arrogance of the Binns' government.
