theprovince

Summary

Nutrition label

69% Informative

In just a year , hundreds of thousands more Canadians fell into the clutches of poverty.

Poverty rates increased in every province, with British Columbia notching the second largest jump.

Child poverty rates also made their largest jump ever, with at least 1.4 million children living in poverty.

With more people falling further behind, going slow and steady no longer wins the race, says Spencer van Vloten .
