Federal b et As many as 100,000 Canadians are expected to take part in tomorrow's "Convoy of Anger"' in Ottawa on the steps of the Parliament Buildings. The march on this nation's capital is being spear-headed by the Canadian Labour Congress and the Ontario Federation of Labour. Both unions, and others like them, are opposed to Finance Minister Allan MacEachen's celebrated tax reforms that were introduced in last week's budget. It is the feeling of many Canadians that last week's budget took from the wealthy but gave to the rich.

Their mortgage company says it will renew but at a 21.75 percent interest rate while the Dion's bank has offered a new mortgage at 18% percent. Meanwhile life goes on for the Dions and the hundreds of thousands of Canadians like them who had hoped the new budget would have given them a shot in the arm but instead gave them a kick in the pants.
