Ovver 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 who need subsidized housing, financial support, etc...
We are abandoning our sense of community spirit, our social democracy.
Truly discouraging and disappointing.
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.
The shortage of even the old subsidized housing units has increased wait lists up to 12 years in some areas.
Meanwhile Canadians are falling for political rhetoric of trickle down economics that is really, trickle down selfishness, or, the Americanization of Canada .
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?
