IN THIS ISSUE:

Service Canada Opens the Door to Improved Services for Canadians
News Release
September 14, 2005
"(...)Service Canada integrates services from a number of federal departments to form an easy-to-access service delivery network. These services touch all aspects of the lives of Canadians: from parental and pension benefits, to matching employers with job seekers, applying for a passport and obtaining a Social Insurance Number. Today, this network brings together 320 points of service in communities throughout Canada; a national 1 800 O-Canada (1 800 622-6232) telephone service providing Canadians with information about all federal government services; and a range of on-line services at servicecanada.gc.ca. (...) In 2006, Service Canada's points of service will double, reaching 1.25 million more Canadians and giving access to many remote and rural communities previously under-served."

Service Canada
"Service Canada was introduced by the Government of Canada in this year's budget, to provide Canadians with one-stop, easy access to the benefits and services they need, through the channel of their choice, whether that is by phone, in-person, or the Internet. Full implementation of Service Canada will roll out over the next three years." [Service Canada FAQ]

CanadaBenefits.gc.ca - "Connecting you to Government Benefits"
If you click on the "Financial Benefits" link on the Service Canada home page, the next page that opens up is the CanadaBenefits.gc.ca page. There's some overlap in content between these two pages, and I'm sure that the CanadaBenefits page will disappear at some point as the Service Canada site evolves. For the time being, though, both of these federal government sites allow you to customize by province or territory the information on government programs that you're looking for. If you explore the Canada Benefits site a bit more, however, you'll note that the search results include *both* federal and provincial-territorial government programs and services, whereas Service Canada's "Services Where You Live" feature covers only *federal* programs where you live...

August 4, 2005
"A job at $10.00 per hour, with benefits and opportunities for advancement, would draw many into the labour force. Such jobs provide dignity and respect. A wage of $7.25 does not. Nor does it make economic sense."

In for the Long Haul: Women’s Organizations in Manitoba - PDF File - 199 K, 24 pages)
August 16, 2005
"Just as women in Manitoba have done for decades past, feminist and women’s organizing for cultural, economic, political, and social change continues unabated. Indeed, many of the issues remain the same as during the second wave women’s movement. Although there may not be a province-wide group mobilizing women under one banner, this study has demonstrated that there is a substantial amount of activity taking place across a wide range of issues emanating from diverse perspectives and experiences."

FastFacts: Let’s Make a (New) Deal
September 2, 2005
"Just a year ago, Ottawa geared up its official propaganda machine to praise NAFTA’s 15-year record at stimulating trade and boosting efficiency (seemingly oblivious to the almost weekly headlines bemoaning Canada’s poor productivity performance). Now, quickly, most Canadians (even in official circles) acknowledge the painful truth: this trade deal is a dud."

What's New from The Daily [Statistics Canada]:

September 16, 2005
National balance sheet accounts - Second quarter, 2005
National net worth reached $4.4 trillion by the end of the second quarter, or $135,000 per capita. The gain in net worth resulted from an increase in national wealth (economy-wide non-financial assets) as well as a further reduction in net foreign debt. (...and no, you *can't* go to the Bank of Canada and withdraw your $135K and move to an atoll in the Pacific, OK?)

September 13, 2005
OECD Regions at a Glance
In most member nations of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), national growth is strongly concentrated in a few regions. Thus, national growth is largely determined by the performance of only a few regions, according to a new OECD report. The report OECD Regions at a Glance shows that about three-quarters of Canadian job growth was concentrated in 10% of Canada's 288 census divisions between 1996 and 2001.

The financial assets stood at $278.8 billion and total liabilities at $543.5 billion."

Oct 13, 2005 (8:30-4:00)
The Common Table was formed in February 2005 in an effort to promote collaboration in advocacy and the delivery of services to children and families. Terms of reference and recommendations were struck and interest in the Common Table continues to grow among many provincial stakeholders and grassroots agencies. The Common Table forum will bring together policy developers and advocates from across the province to discuss the implementation of the group’s recommendations. The forum will also be addressing the province’s Best Start Plan and how the recommendations can affect it. This important all-day provincial forum will include workshops and an expert panel. The Hon. Mary Anne Chambers, Minister for Children and Youth Services, has also been invited to address the forum.

Millennium Goals: Poverty is not a statistic
"MONTEVIDEO, Sep 14 - Fighting poverty requires, among other things, tools for measuring the phenomenon in all its complexity. Poverty cannot be defined by having an income of one or two dollars a day, nor is there any advantage in distinguishing the very poor from the "almost" very poor, says the annual report by Social Watch, a global coalition of around 400 citizens' groups and non-governmental organisations from more than 50 countries. Although poverty basically reflects drastically unequal distribution of income, it also involves unequal access to goods, job opportunities, information and social services and reduced participation in society, says the Social Watch Report 2005, titled "Roars and Whispers. Gender and Poverty: Promises vs. Action", released Wednesday in New York."

Complete report:

Social Watch Report 2005
Roars and Whispers
Gender and poverty: promises vs. action
- includes several dozen links links to thematic reports (e.g., Poverty and globalization), reports measuring progress in specific areas (e.g., gender) and 50 country reports (Albania to Zambia).

Canada Social Watch Country Report for 2005:
Divided and distracted: regionalism as an obstacle
to reducing poverty and inequality (PDF file - 104K, 3 pages)
By Armine Yalnizyan for the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives
"Canada’s political agenda is increasingly marked by regional differences. The focus on decentralization and tightly controlled growth in government spending has resulted in more privatization of public goods, intensification of inequality, and heightened federal-provincial rancour. Genuine progress on poverty reduction or gender equality requires committed federal-provincial unity of purpose. The new dynamic unleashed by a minority federal government could lead to either greater inter-governmental cooperation or further balkanization."

Social Watch
"Social Watch is an international network informed by national citizens' groups aiming at following up the fulfillment of the internationally agreed commitments on poverty eradication and equality. These national groups report, through the national Social Watch report, on the progress - or regression- towards these commitments and goals."
