Poverty Important to Canadians

10/27/2008 by Debra

While our neo-con governments would have us believe that all Canadians feel as they do that poverty is but a moral failing it turns out that “The vast majority of Canadians want the federal and provincial governments to lead a war on poverty, including raising minimum wages and creating more low-cost child care” [survery by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives] The Gazette

Got that? A war on poverty. Not on child soldiers or 3rd world countries.

This story though consisted of one buried paragraph while surveys from the neo con Fraser Institute are front page news. No wonder Canadians don’t recognize themselves. Their values are being buried under those that the neo con want us to have. Just keep chanting “War is Peace; Freedom is Slavery; Ignorance is Strength”. Now isn’t that better?
