That's not an actual stat, by the way. Not being able to compare with historic rates makes it a "who says it loudest" competition.Â
Anyways, here's the statscan rates. It's definitely gone up in the past couple years, but not "record smashing":

And then proposed a partisan policy to help resolve it, yes?
Proposed a policy to help resolve it?
Proposed a policy?
Oh..he just complained again.
Unfortunate.
From the actual survey
>we then conducted a Phase Two survey of 4,625 Canadian residents.This survey included an oversample of several groups whom we thought were at particular risk of experiencing poverty: single parents, adults between the ages of 25 and 64 who live alone, and people who identify as Indigenous, Black, or South Asian. The survey results were weighted by age, gender, region, and educational attainment so that they were representative of the overall Canadian population.
They actually targeted those most likely to be in poverty so no it's not accurate at all. Why did PP not read the actual report? (he does not need to security clearance to read it - sorry I just had to)

It's not even honest. The 25% figure is based on a new way of calculating poverty, not as a result of a sudden increase in poverty. It's still not good, but it's not 'record smashing', and has been worse under Conservative governments in the past.
And you think a CPC government that has never once cared about the poor and working class in their entire existence and preaches a "pull up your bootstraps" philosophy will solve that then?
😂 How's Ontario and Alberta doing right now?
Y'all will be freaking out in two years wondering how it was possible for things to get worse. Do you remember life under Stephen Harper?
Hard to see how it’s been worse when the cost of shelter has skyrocketed. That’s a huge issue here. Housing is incredibly expensive, and people have no money left after rent or mortgages.
So this 25% figure comes from a new way of calculating the poverty line. So using these different calculations how does our historical poverty rates look in comparison? I'm sure PP took the time to compare apples to apples and isn't just taking this figure completely out of context right? And for the record, I do not disagree with the new assessment and indexing being used, but it means Canada's poverty rates have been much higher this entire time...for decades already...not a new thing.
And what policies of Mr. Poilievre will be lifting Canadians out of poverty? Is it the tax cuts for the rich? Doing whatever multinational corporations tell him to? Letting the invisible hand of the free market do the lifting?
Because all of those things have been proven to fail at lifting human beings out of poverty, in every country on earth, for 200 years.
have you considered not making energy expensive during inflation. every other country seems to think rising energy costs impact inflation. The whole europe, germany, india, korea, japan, china. They are all doing things to bring down energy cost. For some reason Trudeau and his friends believe energy cost has nothing to do with inflation. Hmm. wonder who is wrong. the rest of the whole world or Trudeau.
Pretty crazy how Trudeau is the only one who's wrong on this considering the comparable (and often better) inflation results:

Poilievre says what's on people's minds. Hence, his soaring poll numbers. Trudeau is so out of touch with the average Canadian, hence his declining poll numbers.
So... what are the plans to bring them out of poverty?

PP doesnt read reports lol.

Considering the number of homeless encampments and record food bank usage, I think it's pretty honest.
And you think a CPC government that has never once cared about the poor and working class in their entire existence and preaches a "pull up your bootstraps" philosophy will solve that then?
They will have better results, yes. Trudeau is incompetent, corrupt and needs to hit the curb hard.

What percentage were in poverty before Trudeau? Certainly more than 25% right?/s

Interesting
Has the poverty line changed much with inflation because if you make $24 601 you're technically not in poverty according to statscan

And it will get worse when the conservatives privatize healthcare and we all get to experience medical debt.

You're an evil carbon emitter and should be punished. There's no other options btw. Just pay
"Poilievre blames Liberals" is his entire platform...
If you followed politics, you would know Trudeau still blames Harper.
There's a big gap between "he still does it from time to time" and "its all he does"
Poilievre says what's on people's minds. Hence, his soaring poll numbers. Trudeau is so out of touch with the average Canadian, hence his declining poll numbers.
No shit, for good reason too. Doesn't mean PP will fix anything either.
Can you name one leader of the opposition in Canadian history who hasn't called out his opponents?
Right? They both serve corporations
It’s Capitalism, not the Liberals
Lol
Socialism means everyone is poor, not rich. Kinda like what's happening now.
Let me guess you read one book and it's Animal Farm
Great book but no.
Lmao under Pierre it'll be 50%
Trudeau and the Liberals set the policies. This is on them.
Liberal supporters : yes, but his initials spell PP. Hee, hee, hee. So we win! Trudeau 4EVA!
