Poverty is affecting Canadians daily, starting with the working poor, living just above the poverty line, and continuing with the homeless on our streets.
Visit our channel to see clips from Canadians struggling with low minimum wage, inefficient EI and welfare, and high tuition. Making poverty history is not impossible--Our documentary traveled to Ireland and then Sweden, and found solutions.
Canada has poverty right in its backyard, yet we're supposed to take the message of the privilege serious? If they wanted to slap the face of the poor in Canada, this is exactly how they would do it; and when they are done, they say, "you don't have it bad so don't bitch." Somehow the message doesn't resonate quite right when the privileged say it.
MANILA, Philippines - About 1 billion people are absolutely poor, living on less than US$1 a day, said International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) - including 11 million Filipinos (13.5% of the country's population) live on less than $1 a day; 9.1 percent or 7.4 million are subjacent poor (living on 75c to 1$) and 4.4% or 3.6 million are medial poor (living on 50 - 75c). There is no figure for the ultra poor (living on less than 50 cents).
Anne has in the past attended gatherings for the Bush family, maybe that answers the question, though i guess Sarah gets some more dough for this ad, in addition to her Aids in Africa promo.
I saw this on TV just a few minutes ago, and when I saw Gordon Downie on it, and realized he was the one talking, I thought it was pretty cool. (I'm a huge Tragically Hip fan)
