"•Implementing a national poverty prevention and reduction strategy.

•Creating a federal housing strategy.

•Maintaining current levels of federal transfer payments to provincial, territorial, and First Nations governments.

•Addressing rates of low income among seniors."

I have a good friend who runs a food bank. The need seems to increase on Friday afternoon when the indigents realize they have no food for the weekend.

She knows a lot of the food she gives out gets sold so her clients can buy booze and smokes. Go figure.
