Here in metro Vancouver we are continually struggling to house those on the bottom of the income scale.  Those on welfare and disability.

Every day it is the same story.  Renovictions, nowhere to stay, thousands of people living on the street with no place to live. Tent cities. 

And there is the opioid crisis - we are on pace for over 1400 deaths this year.  The Trudeau Liberals promised 10 million dollars earlier this year to help address this.  On the street, workers tell us little  money has  trickled down - nothing has changed.

You can also point the finger at the BC Liberals - and rightly so.  But this does nothing to change the fact that we have a poor and marginalized demographic in Canada.  We are not "better" than England or the US, and have no rights to moral superiority on this issue. 

A country is judged on how it treats its very poor and unfortunate.

Not on the number of tax breaks for the middle class.
