SnowyCA :vivaldi_red:<p>🤔 🇨🇦 Over the past 4 or 5 decades I've noticed across this country there has been a drop in Canadians voting for governments who support the most vulnerable; subsidized housing, financial support, etc...we are abandoning our sense of community spirit, our social democracy. </p><p> Truly discouraging and disappointing. <br> <br>Millions, yes that many, are barely surviving, living in squalor; crammed together in basements, or aging and crumbling social housing. in unsafe unsanitary conditions. or are on the streets. <br>The shortage of old subsidized housing units has increased wait lists up to 12 years in some areas.</p><p>Meanwhile Canadians are falling for political rhetoric of trickle down economics that is really, trickle down selfishness, or , the Americanization of Canada .</p><p>A country is judged by how it treats its most vulnerable, we are failing--and polls say we are one of the best, the most free but are we when we leave people trapped in despair due to extreme poverty?</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Canada</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Canpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Canpoli</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/article/98-of-canadian-households-tracked-receiving-social-assistance-live-below-poverty-line-report/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">ctvnews.ca/canada/article/98-o</span><span class="invisible">f-canadian-households-tracked-receiving-social-assistance-live-below-poverty-line-report/</span></a></p>
