    The solution: Policies that increase incomes

    Reducing food insecurity requires income solutions such as higher minimum wage, higher social assistance rates and lower income tax rates for the lowest income households.

    While I do agree that these should be in place, the reality is that it’s not only the lowest income households who are struggling with the cost of living.

    Support should be given to all households who aren’t outright wealthy or else you’re ignoring the majority of Canadians.

      NDP want their policies to be universal

      Liberals want it to only apply to the lowest class

      Cons don’t want any

      Based on popularity, most people seem to be between none and bare minimum

        I want to stab you 20 times.

        You don’t want to be stabbed at all.

        Let’s compromise and stab you 10 times.

    This honestly seems low for the way things are, I suspect it will increase in the next couple years as real estate and rental prices catch up to people who have been less effected so far

        I think you are looking at individual income where household is more appropriate. The median after tax household income is 68k. So that’s still 50% doing worse, but it’s a little better than you make out.

            70k per household is the top 50% of renters not the top 30 like you say.

      Statistics are probably not up to date

    We are currently spending more on “attracting” new immigrants than we do housing the ones that get here or even the Canadians that are lying in homeless camps around nearly every city.

    These politicians deserve prison time for their incompetence. Left and right. Not a single one of these rat bastards is doing the job they’re actively stealing money from hard working canadians to pay themselves off with.
