  • Poverty in Canada Resources
  • Just over 3 million Canadians lived in a low-income situation in 2008, virtually unchanged from 2007, using the after-tax low income cut-offs. This represents 9.4% of the population.
  • Source: In from the Margins: A Call To Action on Poverty, Housing and Homelessness The Standing Senate Committee on Social Affairs, Science and Technology, Report of the Subcommittee on Cities (12.09:p.3) Poverty expands healthcare costs, policing burdens and diminished educational outcomes. This in turn depresses productivity, labour force flexibility, life spans and economic expansion and social progress, all of which takes place at huge cost to taxpayers, federal and provincial treasuries and the robust potential of the Canadian consumer economy. [...] We believe that eradicating poverty and homelessness is not only the humane and decent priority of a civilized democracy, but absolutely essential to a productive and expanding economy benefitting from the strengths and abilities of all its people.

    Nutrition is an input to and foundation for health and development. Interaction of infection and malnutrition is well-documented. Better nutrition means stronger immune systems, less illness and better health. Healthy children learn better. Healthy people are stronger, are more productive and more able to create opportunities to gradually break the cycles of both poverty and hunger in a sustainable way. Better nutrition is a prime entry point to ending poverty and a milestone to achieving better quality of life.

    Charity is when those who have too much give a bit to those who have too little. These affluent givers tell themselves (and others) that their hearts bleed for you. At the same time, they are unable to resist telegraphing to you (and others) that they're intrinsically superior. Clearly, they're not obligated to help you. Your neediness is...well...yours. Your misfortune is not their doing, after all. Yet, they're compelled to be charitable; the impulse arises out of simple inborn nobility. But you are quite surely obligated to them. Being quite good and generous, your benefactors have, once again, won the game of "right living." You must be grateful that your deprivation even registered on their radar screen. In fact, you are really quite fortunate, quite lucky. Although I don't think this luck was what the good lord Jesus meant by "the meek shall inherit the earth."
