Homeless cuts = results for people?

The Conservatives' decision to cut funding for homeless shelters a couple weeks back is exactly the kind of thing that a Conservative victory raised the spectre of before the last election.

In London, services have been cut by $376,000. This follows cuts to Toronto, Ottawa, Windsor, Hamilton, Halifax, and Vancouver (confirmed by the London Free Press and Mayor Anne-Marie Decicco, despite Diane Finley's stick-handling to the contrary).

This is an alarming response to all of those who naively suggested a minority government would somehow entirely handcuff Stephen Harper, and that talk to the contrary was simply fear mongering. This is particularly true to of the many NDP (and some Green) supporters who rattle on about "liberal, tory, same old story" while enabling regressive moves like this. Not to mention Kelowna, child-care et al, this is but one more example of the "results for people" that the sacking of the last government has brought home.
