Alliance against poverty, AAP. I was one of the two people who started this group about five years ago the other person is Oz Cole Arnell, he had just retired from Laurier he was a professor at the Lutheran seminary. We actually met the year before during the federal election campaign. Oz ran for the New Democrats and I ran for the Communist party. So we met at some all candidates meetings and we found out that we had a lot in common. We kept in touch after the election then about a year, year and a half later we decided to form an anti-poverty activist group, which we did. It’s going now, I guess there are about fifteen members. Everyone in the group is an activist of some sort. Approximately half the group are at least middle income. The other half of the people are people like myself, the term we use is living on the edge. People below the poverty line.
