The ever increasing gap…Harperpuppet creates more poverty for how many straight years??

1 in 10 Canadian kids living in poverty

“Over the last decade, inequality between rich and poor in Canada grew more than in any country in the OECD…The average income of the wealthiest share of families with children increased more than twice as much (33 per cent over the past 18 years) as family incomes for the poorest tenth of Canada’s population (16 per cent from 1989 to 2007),”

 The article also states clearly: “As Canada has no official poverty line, the report used Statistics Canada’s low-income cutoff line.” which is $21K, the REAL poverty line in Canada is $35k, if you use the UN rights and percentages spent on rent + utilz + food as a ratio of income….

But the Harperpuppet government, too busy trying to shut up it’s own people from talking about Canadian forces knowingly sending people to torture prisons, doesn’t want you to realize that there is no poverty here because we simply don’t measure poverty. There are no “real” gov’t statistics, so how can poverty “really” exist? They’ve been playing this game 30+ years, it’s time we have proper accurate reporting of things that the gov’t is afraid of people knowing, like poverty levels, child molestation levels, hate crimes levels, numbers of people dying compared to previous regimes, we’re being eradicated by a minority gov’t….
