January 21, 1994: I went to the welfare office and fought them for bus tickets


Thirty years ago today

            On Friday I didn’t work at Central Technical School because three days before that Steve Timmins had canceled the job. I applied for welfare and fought the office to give me some bus tickets. I went downtown to the Ontario College of Art so I could use the phone in the models lounge and called some food banks. I went to the one at Coxwell and Gerrard. When I got home there was a paycheque in the mail and so I was alright for a while.
