I’m thrilled to announce that the data released today by @StatCan_eng shows that we have met our first poverty reduction target a full THREE YEARS ahead of schedule!

Today is truly a historic day for Canada. Between 2015 & 2017, the poverty rate fell by more than 20% - this represents approximately 825,000 fewer people living in poverty. This is proof that our investments are having a positive impact on Canadian families.pic.twitter.com/QDP4DTcJqQ
We know there is much more to do, and we are committed to cutting poverty in half by 2030 and making sure that everyone has a real and fair chance to succeed. Read my full statement here: http://bit.ly/2SsVUjd
I'd like to know what percentage of senior citizens saw their poverty level decline during the same period?
From the Stats Canada release: There were 238,000 (3.9%) seniors living in poverty in 2017, down from 284,000 (4.9%) in 2016. This decline was concentrated among unattached seniors, where the poverty rate fell from 11.0% in 2016 to 8.4% in 2017.
Simply amazing how this magically comes out in an election year. What about lowering taxes for everyone else so we can keep more of OUR money from you guys?
And it only took damn near bankrupting the country to do it! So future generations are saddled with billions and billions in debt, virtually guaranteeing a future increase in taxes, but hey, you'll be retired by then with a gold plated pension, tax payers will clean up your mess.
Is that like the 2.5 billion that went missing? If that's any indication of how you do math you better hire new accounts 'cause they cant be trusted!
Statistics Canada is not a reliable source as this agency isn’t entirely inclusive. It angers me to think if it’s not inclusive why is it needed. Politicians wasting money again?
I'm super interested in this - can you point me to better sources? Or anything explaining where statsCan falls short?
Wow this is huge news. To turn that ship around!
