It would be interesting to know how many people outside of Canada that we have lifted out of Poverty by keeping our wage growth stagnant.  They say China, since joining the WTO in 2000, has lifted many Hundreds of Millions of its people out of Poverty.  Maybe the goal should be to lift all people(s) out of poverty.  Would be interested to know how many people Canada has lifted out of Poverty from being part of the Global Economy,  as I do not mind helping others, even if I do a little worse.
