      It takes a special kind of magic to make child poverty go up after you’ve goosed the Canada Child Benefit to up to $8000 per child and indexed it to inflation, made daycare $10 per day in many places, and started offering free dental care for people with low-mid incomes.

      Its fine. When asked about rising child poverty I’m sure Trudeau will find a way to blame Harper’s government from ten years ago.

      Who knew that gutting the middle class would have lasti g effects for all? Especially children.
      But we should think of the environment and not eating or shelter at times like this. Thats being short sighted and selfish.

      Don’t worry, this gst pause and one time rebate will save us. Oh ya, and slowing down immigration now after the damage is already done.

      Child poverty will balance itself… Sunny ways my friends, sunny ways… ☀️

      Are we surprised? Honestly, this is what lack of proper governance looks like.

      Just wait till you look at Ontario in a few years after all the gambling and new rise of alcoholism.

      I think a lot of covid divorce prob didn’t help (ours actually started right before and had to park it for like a year… Makes life more tough) along with covid itself followed by global inflation.

      I don’t like what Trudeau has done economy wise (could have made a fortune on LNG for one), but he has actually tried to increase some of those benefits

      Poverty is increasing across all ages, not just in children.

    13. Gunslinger7752 on

      Very surprising considering that the LPC tweets nonstop about how many children they have “lifted out of poverty” and the number seems to go up by 100k every other week lol

      People who earn enough money to give children a good life in Canada don’t have time for children

      Impulsive people keep having them

      I wish Ontario could be doing as well as Quebec is. Why are they doing so much better than every other province? We should be copying whatever it is they are doing.

      So things have improved from 2015 but got worse since 2017.

      Assuming this is Trudeau’s the only factor (and it’s not – remember the provincial government is responsible too), doesn’t that mean he has improved things since the last government?

      If all the money wasn’t given away to foreign wars and junkie supplies maybe this wouldn’t be an issue. Add the fact that there’s no housing and jobs due to a massive influx of immigration and what did you expect to happen? Everyday Canadians feel that pain.

      well there goes our illustrious PMs go to talking point about what a good job they have done with child poverty.

      Child poverty in Canada is typically measured using the Low Income Measure (LIM), which is defined as the percentage of children living in households with incomes below 50% of the median household income after taxes. This measure is used by Statistics Canada and other organizations to track child poverty rates across the country.

      In Canada, child poverty is often defined as a situation where a child under the age of 18 lives in a household with an income below the LIM threshold. This threshold varies depending on the household size and composition.

      If we look at statcan data for people aged 0-17 (linked in the article):

      |year|2014|2015|2016|2017|2018|2019|2020|2021|2022|
      |—|—|—|—|—|—|—|—|—|—|
      |Percentage of persons in low income |21.8 |20.9 |19.6 |18.6 |18.2 |17.7 |13.5 |15.6 |18.1|

      We are still lower than we were in 2014-2018, but the pandemic and CERB really helped out a lot of low-income people, creating a big drop in 2020 that we’ve bounced back up from.

      From 2006-2013, the rate stayed between 22.8 and 22.2

      Cause and effect of record immigration… what do you expect when a generation gets shafted! Most rents now take a full time wage… then there’s youth unemployment…

    27. kw_hipster on

      I think some important facts to mention in this is:

      Poverty and wealth inequality seem to be rising globally since the pandemic, not just Canada.

      This suggests there are many factors impacting this sad turn of events including global issues, and our three levels of governments actions.

      Can anyone knowledgeable comment on this more?

    28. PurchaseGlittering16 on

      Is this news? Poverty is running wild in Canada, record numbers of people are using food banks and yes many of them have children…. The country is a mess generally.
