Sooo what exactly is this thread supposed to be about? FN living conditions or you whining about there's not enough muslim garbage in Canada.
Why do you care as long as you can throw in an opinion that is not about anything on the thread so far? The Settlement is on the same shoreline so fuk off or post something relevant. It looks a lot like what happened when the Jews moved into South Africa and Australia. There is a thread for that topic, want me to update it so you have someplace to take a shit?
Would you move your family into a settlement like that?? Perhaps the places where we do put the refugees we allow in to make sure they are being experimented on also. Rather than no care from Health Canada they probably have all sorts of meds pushed down their throats to cure the conditions that just get worse and worse. We probably have a few spots where they were parked 20 years ago, should a place be found that can show they are thriving?

Economic deprivation – lack of income — is a standard feature of most definitions of poverty. But this in itself does not take account of the myriad of social, cultural and political aspects of the phenomenon. Poverty is not only a deprivation of economic or material resources but a violation of human dignity.”
– Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights An estimated
one in seven Canadians — or 4.8 million people — currently live in conditions of poverty.
That means that 4.8 million people struggle to meet their most basic needs every day; to make challenging decisions like paying the electricity bill or going to the dentist, buy nutritious food or buy a transit pass. These individuals are at higher risk of homelessness, have an increased risk of poor mental and physical health and suffer great depths of anxiety and emotional struggles. A recent study conducted by McMaster University found a staggering
21-year difference in the life expectancies between the poorest and wealthiest members of a community.
Poverty is, at its core, a violation of the most fundamental human rights possessed by every person. However, not everyone is equally susceptible to living in poverty. At a considerably higher risk are Aboriginal people, recent immigrants and refugees, people with mental and physical disabilities, elderly individuals, single parents (especially single mothers), and racialized communities.
One of the challenges about poverty in Canada is that there is no official definition of poverty or consistent indicators of poverty. Statistics for “poverty lines” are based on several measures of low-income, often the Low-Income Cut off (After Tax) (LICO-AT); the Low Income Measure (LIM); and the Market Base Measure (MBM). Generally, the LICO-AT and the LIM are preferred measures because they recognize that poverty is not merely about income level, but is about the ability of individuals and families to access basic goods and services. However, even these measures fail to capture the full picture when it comes to poverty because of the diversity of experiences for people living in poverty.

Chronic Low Income Among Immigrants in Canada and its Communities
Abstract
This paper examines the rate of chronic low income among immigrants aged 25 or older in Canada during the 2000s. Chronic low income is defined as having a family income under a low-income cut-off for five consecutive years or more. A regionally adjusted low-income measure is used for the analysis. Among immigrants who were in low income in any given year, about one-half were in chronic low income. The highest chronic rates were observed among immigrant seniors, as well as immigrants who were unattached or lone parents. There were large differences in the chronic low-income rate by immigrant place of birth, even after adjusting for differences in other immigrant background characteristics. The chronic low-income rate was lower among economic class immigrants than among family or refugee classes, but the difference was reduced after adjusting for background characteristics. Chronic low-income rates among immigrants varied significantly across the 29 cities/regions in the study, varying by a factor of 5 between the highest and lowest rates. However, the community ranking was not static and changed significantly between the beginning and end of the 2000s.

Executive summary
Rates of low income among immigrants continue to be high relative to the Canadian-born population. Concern regarding low income is closely tied to its duration. If immigrant low-income spells are mostly of short duration, the negative effect on immigrants and society may be less than if they consist primarily of longer, more chronic spells. In this paper, chronic low income is defined as having a family income under a low-income cut-off for five consecutive years or more. The focus of this analysis is on immigrants during the 2000s who were in Canada for 5 to 20 years and over the age of 25.
Past research has focused primarily on new spells of low income and has asked how many subsequently became chronic. From this perspective, most new spells of low income among immigrants are not chronic, which is consistent with earlier research. However, this paper’s primary goal is somewhat different. It focuses on the prevalence of chronic low income in any given year, its characteristics, and its variation across 29 cities/regions. Among immigrants who were in low income in any given year during the 2000s, approximately one-half were in chronic low income at that time.
The proportion of immigrants who were in chronic low income fell from 16.3% in 2004 to 12.3% by 2012. However, the chronic rate fell more quickly among the comparison group, which consisted primarily of the Canadian-born. As a result, the chronic low-income rate was 2.6 times higher among immigrants than the Canadian-born in 2000, and 3.3 times higher in 2012. In addition, chronic low income was found not to be restricted to more recently arrived immigrants. By 2012, there was little difference in the chronic low-income rate between immigrants who had been in Canada for 5 to 10 years and those in the country for 16 to 20 years.
The highest chronic low-income rates in 2012 were observed among immigrants over the age of 65. These relatively high rates—30% among all immigrant seniors
Note 1 and over 50% among more recent immigrant seniors
Note 2—were in sharp contrast to the rate observed among Canadian-born seniors (about 2%). Immigrants who were unattached or lone parents also displayed higher-than-average chronic low-income rates. Country of origin also mattered, even after adjusting the rates for differences in characteristics such as official language and education at landing, years since immigration, immigrant class, age and family type.
Differences in the chronic low-income rate among immigrants with different levels of educational attainment were relatively small by 2012, in part because the rate had risen among those with a post-graduate degree, and fell among those with secondary or less between 2000 and 2012. The chronic low-income rate was lower among economic class immigrants than among the family class or refugees; it was 1.4 times higher among the family class and refugees. There was little difference between immigrant men and women, particularly after adjusting the rate for differences in background characteristics.
Immigrant chronic low-income rates varied significantly among the 29 cities/regions in the study, differing by almost a factor of 5 between the cities/regions with the highest and lowest rates. Of this variation, 40 % was due to differences among communities in immigrant background characteristics. The order of the communities was determined according to the chronic low-income rate of their immigrants. This rank ordering changed significantly between 2000 and 2012. In 2000, the one-quarter of the cities/regions with the lowest immigrant chronic rates were mostly in Ontario, but, by 2012, they were all in the Prairie Provinces. However, Canada’s three largest cities were among the one-quarter of communities with the highest chronic rates in both 2000 and 2012.
The chronic low-income rate among the Canadian-born population in any city/region acts as a control for economic and policy effects that influence the chronic rate among immigrants. However, the chronic rate among the Canadian-born in a city/region is not a good predictor of the immigrant chronic rate in the same community. This analysis suggests that unobserved factors other than economic conditions, policy effects and immigrant background characteristics contribute to the differences in immigrant chronic low-income rates in a city/region.

Ever notice that where bad conditions are and somebody is doing a 'study' it means the conditions are artificial. If people in poverty are being studied poverty is part of the parameters. Poverty with free prescriptions where Government Doctors are doing the prescribing leaves lots of room for abuse by the people who run the show, Jews at the level of the World Bank.

Human Lab Rats (2013): Big pharmaceutical companies are increasingly outsourcing clinical trials to developing countries to create new medicine. Taking advantage of relaxed regulation, it's the world's poorest who are paying the price.
Death By Medicine takes a hard examination at the dominant medical paradigm contributing to America’s health crisis. Based on Gary Null’s ground breaking book on the hundreds of thousands of injuries and deaths caused by conventional medicine, the documentary looks at the medical industrial complex, the pharmaceutical industry’s usurpation of the nation’s medical schools, research, falsified drug clinical trials, peer reviewed scientific journals, and the complicity of federal health agencies to permit this to happen. The result is a medical system unfounded on sound science. Why is there a lack of oversight by government regulatory agencies and private interest lobbyists call the shots for national healthcare? From FDA and FBI raids on cherry and dairy farmers to the halls of Congress, we witness the hostile attack on the natural health industry. We witness what happens when a mercenary healthcare system and the failures of a just and fair healthcare policy leaves the US as the 37th healthcare system in the world. The result is the American medical system is broken and corrupted by money rather than scientific fact, and the answer is to create a new medical paradigm that addresses the health of people rather than raising of stock prices, careers and reputations.
The US has a highly developed pharmaceutical industry offering treatments for all kinds of mental disorders. Millions of Americans are being medicated for ailments as diverse as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and many others. Even young children are being put on psychiatric drugs. If parents decline such treatment, social services may intervene. Many patients, who’ve been taking these pills for years, insist that they do more harm than good. They have experienced disturbing side effects such as suicidal thoughts, addiction and even neurological damage. A lot of patients were put on their medication as children and by the time they were legally old enough to decide for themselves, they had already become addicted. They testify that breaking their dependency on the drugs is extremely difficult because, like any habit forming narcotic, they cause severe withdrawal symptoms. RTD meets some of the sufferers to hear their stories of battling to shake off prescribed medicines. Father of 5, Josh, was given anxiety medication, it caused Akathisia and Dystonia. Both are physical disorders causing involuntary and uncontrolled body movement and have left him disabled. Olivia’s son was prescribed psychiatric drugs to treat Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD). Olivia soon noticed side effects and refused to continue giving him the pills. He was taken by social services and hospitalised. Denis from Russia used to work for a pharmaceutical company in the US but after meeting his wife, who had suffered from the side effects of antidepressants for most of her life, he started questioning the necessity for such widespread psychiatric prescribing. Their claims are supported by lawyers and medical professionals. Psychiatrist Dr. Peter Breggin is a vocal critic of psychiatric medication. He is adamant that the drugs are toxic and that many problems people talk to physiatrists about can be treated without resorting to drugs. His book on how to stop taking psychiatric medicines has helped thousands of patients who have struggled with the challenge. RTD meets a few of them.
Jews have enough influence in Canada and the US that knowledge cannot hidden and if it is known to them and no corrective steps are taken then it is their operation to begin with.
