Here is an article with a not so surprising point of view! With some comments of my own in brackets):
Immigrants and young single moms among those who struggle most with poverty
By Mary Getaneh, Star, Metro Calgary
Published Thu., June 7, 2018
CALGARY— Immigrants, Indigenous groups and women are heavily represented among low-income residents in Calgary, according to a new report on poverty in the city.
(And WHO would be surprised that the least educated and least skill among us and those with dependant children would have poverty issues? Various economists have made it known how very many Cdns are one pay cheque away from fiscal disaster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
The report, released earlier this week, is from Vibrant Communities Calgary, a non-profit that works at reducing the number of Calgarians living in poverty.
Syma Habib said the Alex Community Food Centre sees about 300 people a week, most of whom are on social assistance and are from a marginalized groups.
Franco Savoia, executive director of Vibrant Communities Calgary, said the report is “a snapshot” of the rate of low-income residents in the city, based on Statistics Canada’s Census 2016.
(As this report was published in June, 2018- and the Alberta economy - based so much on oil has pretty much collapsed- I would suggest the numbers living in poverty are up SUBSTANTIALLY IN THIS February 2019!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
“In 2005 the per cent of people living below the low income tax was about 10.3 per cent, now it is at 8.1 per cent,” said Savoia. “When you take the population, we grew as a city, but our poverty did not grow correspondingly.”
(But it is unfortunate that Savoia makes NO DISTINCTION between various groups living in poverty! Such as the swarms of illegals who lack the educational or language skills to survive in Canada- and which many Cdns want DEPORTED as we don’t feel able to supply the costly govt aid the illegals require!)
(And how many living in poverty are drug addicts- the people for whom Cdns have little sympathy since it IS A PERSONAL CHOICE to start using dangerous drugs that render the user under unfit for ANY employment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(Nor does Savoia mention how many mentally ill people are living in poverty- with LIE-berals apparently unwilling to provide the aid these people would need to function effectively!!!!!!!!!!)
(And what of the indigenous population? Since over 75 percent of Cdn jobs now require POST SECONDARY EDUCATION- and only 25 percent of natives graduate from high school it stands to reason that natives would live in poverty!!)
(And should we not discuss the unemployed oil workers who have been abandoned by LIE-beral govt that is determined to DESTROY the Alberta oil patch and all its related spin off jobs- WITHOUT offering any practical alternative employment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(Wildly stubborn LIE-berals are focused on electric Toy cars that consumers do not want and which tax payers cannot afford to subsidize!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(There are solutions to poverty but LIE-berals refuse to use these options for fear of losing votes!!!!!!!!!!!)
Though there are more people living poverty now, said Savoia.
Single women over 75 and single mothers with children under the age of five experience low income at twice the age of their male counterparts, the report shows.
(Yes- the issue of aged single women in poverty is a sad one and of course govt COULD pay the elderly MORE- if only LIE-berals were not so busy buying costly votes from greedy gravy train riding civil service union HOGS! And of course closing the border to illegals demanding our charity for the rest of their lives would give us the option of re-directing money to our elderly as well!!!!!!!!)
“Immigrants and refugees are overrepresented as are Indigenous people. Women are also carrying more of the brunt of poverty than men in the city,” said Savoia.
(The LIE-beral immigration system is riddled with idiot holes that all manner of UNSUITABLE PEOPLE can sneak through to gain entry and access to our charity! Anthony Dooley - who was a convicted drug dealer - made a refugee claim before beating his son to death! Accepting the refugee claims for Dooley and wife Marcia was a staggeringly COSTLY MISTAKE- that will ultimately cost us TEN MILLION DOLLARS in court costs and jail time - WITHOUT FACTORING for inflation!!!)
(And what of the $37 million dollars LIE-berals paid out to 3 suspected jihadist jerks who should NEVER have been allowed into Canada?????????????)
(And shall we not mention the First Family of Terror- the Khadr Klan? Why would LIE-beral Chretien invite papa Khadr- already a convicted terrorist bomber- to immigrate to Canada? Why not leave the guy to ROT in his Italian jail cell?)
(The youngest Khadr son was seriously crippled while fighting Yankee forces and will require COSTLY ongoing access to Cdn medical care for the rest of his life- and how much will THAT COST? LIE-berals are SILENT!)
(Omar Khadr is INFAMOUS for being paid $10.5 million dollars for the pain and suffering he endured while FIGHTING AGAINST CDN FORCES in Afghanistan!
And LIE-berals insanely try to defend this blood money while most Cdns think the Khadrs should be damned grateful they were not all hanged as traitors!!!!!!!!!)
Savoia said this could be for a number of reasons. Women generally earn less than men and are under-represented in higher-paying jobs. If these women are single mothers, child care costs add another barrier.
(It has been claimed that over 70 percent of black mothers are single parents- which suggests a huge break down in social cohesion and it begs the question about the value of long term LIE-beral immigration policy since too many children of immigrants previously selected by LIE-beral Pierre Trudeau are STRUGGLING -even as Our idiot Boy REPEATS the mistakes of his father!!!!!!!!!!!!)
He said for immigrants and Indigenous groups there is often systemic and structural racism that can keep them from accessing jobs.
(Nearly 30 years ago Time magazine told us that black men under age thirty got paid only one half of one percent LESS than their equally educated white counterparts! It is NOT racism that is holding people back in thi modern age - it is crap attitudes -encouraged by LIE-berals - that have convinced black kids- and native kids as well- that getting an education is selling out to white society!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Syma Habib, community advocacy co-ordinator for the Alex Community Food Centre, said that poverty is a big issue in Calgary.
“It’s a huge issue and the worst part is that it’s entirely preventable,” said Habib. “We can build the right social and structural supports to avoid it. Poverty does not do good things, but people are still in it and that's unfortunate.”
(Sadly some people - addicts who really have only themselves to blame; and the mentally ill whom LIE-berals are neglecting; and lumping them in with illegals- who WOULD WORK if there was anything useful they could do; and lumping them in with oil workers who are being BLOCKED from working by idiot LIE-beral policy is out right dishonest! One size does NOT fit all!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
“Income really is the biggest thing. The barriers that marginalized communities — especially, women, newcomers and Indigenous populations — are often accessing employment.”
(Bad immigration choices by LIE-berals crap education attitudes among ethnic groups is NOT something to blame on average white people! And trying to build up addicts and the uneducated by imposing crippling taxes on ordinary Cdns is NOT a viable solution as LIE-beral polling numbers reveal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Most of the people the service centre serves are on social assistance, but that isn’t cutting it, Habib said.
“The average single female will be making about $667 a month which is not enough to cover rent and food.”
One potential way to alleviate poverty is by introducing a universal basic income, which Habib said is what many organizations in the city are hoping to start advocating for.
(In other words- Habib wants to create an entire sub culture of drug addicts. Illegals and welfare bums all supported in grand style by that other portion of the |Cdn economy that DOES MANAGE its affairs in a sensible way! How can poverty pimps such as Habib JUSTIFY destroying the lives of INDUSTRIOUS PEOPLE with huge new taxes to support screw ups? Poverty Pimps are selling a LIE- that the money they are DEMANDING can somehow be produced without FURTHER DESTROYING our economy and lives with huge new debts!!!!!!!!!!)
“We are seeing in Ontario the beginnings of these universal basic income pilots,” said Habib.
(Oh that sad give away experiment is as popular as Kathleen Wynne- and just as dead politically to!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
“If you put income in the hands of people who don’t have it, it doesn't get wasted. It gets put into food, housing and educational opportunities.”
(Too bad Habib is IGNORING the TRUTH- that the money SHE WANTS- is ALREADY being put into food, housing and educational opportunities BY THE PEOPLE WHO EARNED THE MONEY and who voted against giving more of their money to Wynne-bag LIE-berals!! And the NDP Notley govt looks like having a Wynne-bag style rejection in the next election- for similar reasons!!!!!!!)
Savoia said that although the numbers are still high, policies like the Alberta Child Benefit and the low income transit pass will reflect positively in the number of people living in poverty assessed during the group’s next report.
(Alberta MIGHT be able to be more generous if LIE-berals would get out of the way and allow oil pipelines to be built! There are a LOT of jobs hanging on that SCREWED UP LIE-beral environmental policy! There are many countries that would rather buy Cdn oil than pay oil money to Iranian or Russian dictators!! Completing Kinder Morgan does not mean more emissions- it simply makes ETHICAL OIL available to various markets that will then CUT OUT the dictators and with less cash in hand the dictators will NOT buy so many weapons!!!!!!!)
(And of course Cdn oil is produced under TIGHTER REGULATIONS than any other country! Cleanly produced Cdn oil on market pushes aside the more dirty production of dictators and makes for a more peaceful world!!!!!!!!!!!)
(Only a shameless vote buying LIE-beral desperate to cling to power at any price would object to making life harder for dictators!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Mary Getaneh is a Calgary-based reporter covering arts, culture and diversity.
I don't see any panic around me.
You must live on a poultry farm.
... or a puzzle farm.
OH HAPPY LIE-beral!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How wonderful it must be for you to see and hear no evil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And yet you reserve the right to speak evil nonsense about the economy, about crime rates, about the environment, about grand new public transit you will never build, about the freedom and democracy that you are working so hard to weaken and compromise!!!!!!!!!!!!
At every turn, LIE-beral policy is based on LIES, evasions of reality, distorted and deceitful numbers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One simple example is this one::: HOW can our economy be "booming" and at the same time be loaded with record debt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE are struggling to maintain existing essential services!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Building anything new is apparently IMPOSSIBLE due to massive and growing debts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The huge contradiction between LIE-beral economic claims versus debt reality PROVES THE LIE-beral LIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If our economy really was booming then our standard of living should be going UP - not down !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
POOR STUPID NOT SO CURIOUS CDN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
His lame ass excuses are just NOT making the grade!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Curious- the difference between you and I is that I am NOT trying to establish a Dynasty of POLITICAL LIARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is yet another article illustrating how little real concern LIE-berals have for our environment! With some comments of my own in brackets):
Herbicide Is What’s for Dinner!
How the biggest farming practice you’ve never heard of is changing your food.
By Miranda Hart November 22, 2018
Driving down a grid road in central Saskatchewan, a machine that looks like a giant insect approaches me in a cloud of dust. The cab, hanging 8 feet above the road, is suspended by tires at least 6 feet tall, with wing-like appendages folded along each side. Should I drive around it or under it?
It is harvest season, and the high-clearance sprayer is on its way to desiccate a field. Desiccation may be the most widespread farming practice you’ve never heard of. Farmers desiccate by applying herbicide to their crops; this kills all the plants at the same time, making them uniformly dry and easier to cut. In essence, desiccation speeds up plant aging. Before desiccation, crops would have to dry out naturally at the end of the season. Today, almost all conventional crops are desiccated in Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Chances are that most of what you ate today was harvested using a desiccant, but you’d never know.
The future: A fleet of combines harvests a field of desiccated peas on the Shewchuk farm near Saskatoon. The uniform senescence of the crop has made it dry, causing the combines to kick up chaff and dust as they work. Miranda Hart
Mike Shewchuk jumps down from his swather as I pull into his farmyard. He is a young farmer whose blond brush cut and a robust stride would have not been out of place 50 years ago. Along with his dad, uncles, and brother, he farms 15,000 acres an hour outside of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. They recently received a century farm award, for having continuously farmed the land since the early 1900s.
He is in the middle of a cut, and asks if I would mind riding with him as we talk. I climb up beside him on a small fold-down seat.
Swathers are giant lawn mowers farmers use to cut crops. The cut plants are left to dry on the ground before combining. It can be tricky knowing when to cut. If you start too early, you’ll get too many green seeds. Depending on the crop, that might lead to early germination (wheat) or self-combustion (canola). But if you wait too long, you may be scraping your seeds off the ground after the snow melts.
I doubted that I’ll be able to tell which fields had been desiccated. But the shriveled, brown peas are in stark relief to the green fields around it.
Swathing is quickly going out of fashion, as most farmers desiccate to ripen their crops. One of the big agro-chemical companies even has a marketing campaign with the hashtag #sellyourswather, encouraging farmers to desiccate and ditch swathing altogether. I asked Mike why he hadn’t sold his swather yet.
He laughs. “We’re not desiccating canola, and canola is paying the bills right now.”
Swathing is a delicate process- heavily influenced by weather- a few rainy days or even high humidity can really mess up the drying process!
For many farmers, that is changing. Until recently, farmers did not desiccate canola because it “shattered” the seedpods, shedding the seeds in soil. But breeders have been busy: In 2017, five new varieties of shatter-resistant canola were released in Canada. That will make desiccation viable for Canada’s second-most common crop, and accelerate a trend that began around 10 years ago, when desiccation started to become popular.
Not coincidentally, it was also around then that herbicide use spiked. When you sit down to eat dinner today, there will probably be desiccant in your food.
(And of course although industry establishes “SAFE” levels of contaminants that the public may consume- nobody is doing much to see how all the various chemicals we are eating and breathing MAY be reacting and working with each other to cause various cancers!!!!)
(For LIE-berals its all about cost savings and GRAVY!!!!!!! Our health is not a concern in the LIE-beral SHORT ATTENTION SPAN! The LIE-beral concern is for keeping food bills LOW so there will be room in your grocery budget and CASH available for the Carbon tax scams that are being tacked onto your bills!) (And LIE-berals are using the carbon scam to pay for their MANY ENTITLEMENTS!!!!)
There are thousands of ways to kill a weed. You can starve it, bleach it, mess with its proteins. You can feed it fake hormones. You can force it to make acid so that it disintegrates from within. There are more than 400 licensed weed killers, or herbicides, in Ontario alone. And we love to use them. Canadians used more than 58,000 tons in 2014, compared with only 21,000 tons in 1994. Our landscape, and our crops, have never been so saturated.
(So much for any hope of eating clean organic food! Especially since tv show W 5 did an expose on the ALLEGED organic food being sold in “farmers markets”! Turns out most of THAT is merely mass produced stuff with quaint and healthy sounding labels -obtained from the same suppliers your supermarket uses!!!!!!!)
Our thirst for herbicides is partly due to GMOs like RoundupReady corn, soy, and canola. These herbicide-tolerant crops came on the market in the late 1990s, and changed the farming landscape by making it possible to control weeds by using herbicides on crops still in the field.
Herbicide resistance explains part of the increase in herbicide use around the world over the past decades. If you blast a weed with herbicide, eventually its cells become resistant. Farmers are left with fields of weeds they can’t kill. This is what happens in people, with antibiotic resistant bugs. Faced with resistant weeds, farmers double down, spraying even more and using multiple herbicides. But desiccation accounts for a significant part of the growth in herbicide use. It’s impossible to say precisely how much, because stats are tracked for herbicide use by crop—not by usage type.
Sapolsky_TH-F1
In theory, anything that kills a plant can desiccate a crop, but farmers can only use herbicides that are licensed as desiccants. In practice, there are only a few that are regularly used.
Glyphosate is increasingly used as, or with, desiccants. It’s sold under the trade name RoundUp, and is the most commonly used herbicide in the world, as well as the most commonly used desiccant. In 1974, global use of glyphosate was 3,200 tons per year. It is expected to reach 1 million tons per year by 2020.1 In the U.S., the rate of growth has been accelerating. Between 1995 and 2004, glyphosate use grew by 356 percent. Between 2005 and 2014, it grew by 637 percent.
(So as use of these chemicals has increased- so have the number and type of cancers as well as the number of autistic and severely allergic kids! At the same time we have seen an exponential growth in the number of antibiotic resistant “super bugs”! With doctors telling us the number of still useful antibiotics is shrinking so rapidly that a global pandemic disease that will kill off most of the human race may not be far away!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!)
Glyphosate works by interrupting protein synthesis in plants, rendering them unable to photosynthesize. It is also considered relatively safe for humans. But in 2015 the World Health Organization (WHO) declared it a possible carcinogen, on the basis of an independent survey of the scientific literature. Outrage from governments and industry around the world fueled a reanalysis by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and WHO, which concluded in 2016 that it was “unlikely to pose a carcinogenic risk to humans through diet.”
(Oh! Roundup is RELATIVELY SAFE? That makes me feel warm all over! As I have said- the short attention span of LIE-berals is focused on more gravy- NOT on long term cancer risk!)
Industry, and farmers, breathed a sigh of relief. The reports analyzed, however, did not consider the increase in exposure to glyphosate via desiccation. This practice has dramatically increased the dissemination of glyphosate into the environment, and into us.
(So the LIE-beral FIX is in- they are only counting PART of our exposure!!!!!)
There have been no explicit tests of the effect of desiccation on our microbiome.
I asked Sheri Roberts, a crop specialist with Agriculture and Agrifood Canada in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, whether she thought desiccation was safe. She was reluctant to make the call, but said she wished it was not so commonly used. “The timing’s really tight,” she said. “If you don’t get it just right, that herbicide ends up in the grain.” If farmers apply a non-contact herbicide (like glyphosate) too early, it will be taken up by the growing plant and end up inside the seed. Non-contact herbicides are taken up by the living plant and incorporated into still growing tissues, while contact herbicides kill the tissues they touch.
A 2015 study by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency found glyphosate in 30 percent of 3,200 food products.3 Similar studies have found glyphosate exceeding maximum residue limits (or MRLs) in Cheerios, beer, and wine. 4,5 MRLs are the allowable concentration of herbicides on food crops. Health Canada and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) come up with MRLs by feeding rats or dogs herbicide until an effect is observed. The figures are important for trade: If countries have different MRLs, shipments can be rejected. In 2011, the European Union rejected a shipment of Canadian lentils because MRLs were 40 times the EU limit. Alternatively, countries can use MRLs to negotiate a lower price, or raise their MRLs in response to industry pressure.
(So measurement of MRL`s are also dependent on LIE-beral lust for GRAVY- rather than any consideration for our health!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
According to the EPA, between 1993 and 2015, glyphosate MRLs increased by 100 percent to 1,000 percent in the U.S., depending on the crop. Desiccation has changed the game: Because we are using more herbicides, herbicide residues and MRLs have also gone up. Countries can use MRLs as a bartering tool to negotiate lower prices, and will raise their MRLs in response to pressure. Monsanto and other manufacturers of glyphosate have requested increases in MRLs, and been granted many of them.
(Oh nice- environmentally unconscious LIE-berals banned many chemicals for home use but allowed industrial use to SOAR! And then did not bother doing much testing on the long term effects!!!!!!!!!!!)
Current MRLs for glyphosate range from 0.2 ppm to more than 300 ppm, depending on the crop. Between 1993 and 2015, the U.S. EPA glyphosate tolerance levels have increased by a factor of 50 for corn, and 2,000 for alfalfa.2
As MRLs rise, some industry groups are starting to avoid desiccated crops. Stuart Smyth, an agricultural economist at the University of Saskatchewan, tells me that certain oat millers are no longer accepting desiccated oats. “They say it’s because they don’t mill as well,” he says, “but there’s not a single study showing this.”
The millers might be worried about more than oat milling properties. General Mills, producer of Nature Valley granola bars, was recently sued by a group disputing their claim to be 100 percent natural. Because oats are commonly desiccated before harvest, the grains contain glyphosate residues. The case was dismissed in July this year, because the judge ruled that the glyphosate residues satisfied EPA standards.
(Just because it satisfies EPA standards DOES NOT MEAN the product is “natural” according to common public use of the word! LIE-berals are playing word games with us as they pretend a concern for the environment!!!!!!)
I would really like to be a fly on the wall watching as our silly little Bluebyrdie arrives back in Canada and gets the full flavour of the
CRAP Our idiot Boy is burying himself AND HIS PARTY in with this Lavalin affair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I suspect she is NOT getting the true situation since Yankee news media does not pay much attention to the Great White North
.........and the Quebec media is down playing the scope of the scandal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our flighty little Byrdie will lay an egg big enough to feed the entire LIE-beral party once she sees the TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But given her usual thought process the egg will have to be served up SCRAMBLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah... they just don't know what to do when it comes to questions like that. Their brains spin.
It's an invented crisis generated by Russian hackers like the one operating on this forum.
You like upsetting people, Ivan?
