Éric Bondo is an activist in Quebec best known for his tenure as coordinator of the Front commun des personnes assistées sociales du Québec (FCPASQ) in the mid-2000s.
Bondo helped create Groupe corporatif de gestion IMPACT, an organization that sought to find employment for students, in early 1995.
[3] In the same year, he led demonstrations against the government of Jean Charest for its plan to cut $44 million from social assistance, primarily targeted at youth.
Bondo responded that the government was pursuing "punitive measures" and playing up stereotypes of the poor as parasites, adding that many young welfare recipients do not come from wealthy families and would not be able to seek assistance from this source.
[7] He condemned a plan to build a casino in one of Montreal's poorest neighbourhoods in December 2005, arguing that it would both increase poverty, by enticing low-income residents to gamble their social assistance cheques, and double or triple the crime rate.
