London S.O.S. (Stop Over-Spending) Rally!

Did you Know?

London’s property taxes have increased by more than 31% since 2000, while supplementary fees have increased an astounding 60%, vastly outstripping the rate of inflation; economic growth or real wage increases over the same time period?

Despite the huge increase in taxes and spending London consistently places in the “top ten” for Ontario’s worst roads.

High taxes and unfriendly regulation has resulted in London having the second highest unemployment level in Ontario?

As a result of declining economic opportunities, the median income of Londoners is $10,000 per year lower than 30 similar Canadian cities?

Is this the city council we want?

It’s time to make your voices heard.

On October 3 2009 from 12:00pm until 2:00pm, the Forest City Institute invites you to join us at Reg Cooper Square (behind City Hall) and let London’s city council and bureaucrats know it is time to end London’s decade of darkness.

I love the idea of the demonstration. I just have one question. Where is Reg Cooper Square? Is it the paved area beside City Hall?

Richard Richmond @ 4:49 pm

I am sorry! I have yet another question? What time is the demonstration? Should we bring our own signs?

Hi Richard,

Thanks for your questions! Reg Cooper Square is the big open paved area behind City Hall, in between City Hall and Centennial Hall. And it’s at noon, and bring as much as you’d like! Signs and flags make the event look as awesome as it should be.

See you there!
