If you are interested in the topic of workfare check out this video! It is based in New York but the people in Ontario are facing the same sort of policy.
"A DAY'S WORK, A DAY'S PAY follows three welfare recipients in New York City from 1997 to 2000 as they participate in the largest welfare-to-work program in the nation. When forced to work at city jobs for well below the prevailing wage and deprived of the chance to go to school, these individuals decide to fight back, demanding programs that will actually help them move off of welfare and into jobs." For more information check out their website.
