In Halifax, I was told of the disproportionate number of women facing poverty; women who go hungry to feed their children; the disappearance of good, well paying jobs in the manufacturing sector in the Niagara-H
amilton corridor of Ontario; the overwhelming aboriginal face of truly destitute poverty in Thunder Bay; the huge increases in health issues for people living in the poorer neighbourhoods of Saskatoon; whole
families living in motel rooms through the winter in the Penticton area of B.C., then disappearing, with children go
...[+++]ne from school when the tourists arrive in the spring.On m'a dit qu'à Halifax, il y a un nombre disproportionné de femmes pauvres, des femmes qui se passent de manger pour pouvoir nourrir leurs enfants. Dans le corridor Niagara-Hamilton en Ontario, on voit disparaître de bons emplois payants dans le secteur de la fabrication.
