The winner of the “War on Poverty®”… is poverty.
Blacklock’s- Cannot Meet ‘Historic’ Target
Cabinet will not meet its target of reducing poverty by 50 percent, Department of Employment figures show. Then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau launched the campaign six years ago on a promise he was making history.
“If this trend continues the government will not only fail to meets its 2030 target of a 50 percent decrease in poverty but may also fall back below its 2020 target of a 20 percent decrease,” said the report

Thats because all the money never reaches those in need, but is gorged upon by government administrators, ngo executives and lazy union workers.
Oh yeah, but they will meet their Green targets, if that means squeezing you even harder.
Mean income go up, mode income go down.
Like their tree planting target
Yeah, but each person living in poverty will now have ownership of 4 more trees.
i think they only managed a few hundred in 9 years. but their pronouns are outstanding
Poor Ecosexuals will have certain needs met at least.
Four for the Tree Fort to live in.
What leftards understand about economics and the real world wouldn’t fill a gnat’s navel.
Gainful employment cures poverty!.. And the more free stuff you give away, the more you are subsidizing poverty.. Trudeau spent so much the liberals are well into illegal campaign funding territory.. Besides me, who hasn’t he bribed?..
Just like Gavin Newsom threw $B’s at Homelessness … and just got MORE of em.
You cannot reduce poverty because poverty is defined relative to the mean standard of living of the rest of society. The “poor” today live like kings compared to the middle class of merely thirty years ago.
Total bullshite. The poor today live in tent cities, are homeless.
The middle class of thirty years ago owned homes.
But they get free fent, needles, and a cup of coffee and soup when they go to the “supervised safe consumption site”.
Western Nations have the FATTEST most OVERfed poor people in recorded history. And EVERY homeless person living in a tent or shanty is getting a monthly check. Plus an EBT card. And probably many more checks.
Our government should be HONEST and provide a detailed accounting of where all our welfare, food stamp, housing allowances, and homeless funds go. How much $$ does each indigent get paid … and what is the overhead … salaries, bonuses, and benefits.
It’s all defacto UBI
I’d like to see the Poverty Industry reduced by 100%…
Governments don’t solve poverty, they institutionalize it.
They (the government) are desperate to make people own nothing and become utterly dependent on their benevolence. You’ll stand in line for bread and be happy.
Geeze, I wonder where we’ve seen that happen before?!
A friend from Bulgaria, during communism, told me how you got a new fridge in Bulgaria, “You go down to the fridge store, but you don’t go inside, they don’t have any. You go out back in alley where the loading dock is and when driver shows up, you buy it directly off the truck! That is how you buy new fridge in Bulgaria!”
Shortened form, applicable to all areas.
“government will
notonly fail”The Liberals added people to the ranks of the poor. And did so enthusiastically.
Poverty is the result of stupid girls spreading their legs for jerks.
Solve that and you eliminate poverty.
Trudeau spent money to line Liberal pockets, that’s all.
You can’t solve poor choices, ever.
Well, not every dumb girl gets pregnant by losers, and it’s unlikely that’s due to sex education alone.
It’s likely that other factors are in play, identity and promote those other factors. Tell’em to save it for marriage or some such thing…
Imagine how bad the fail would look if the government weren’t cooking the numbers … and you know they are.
Everything Government touches turns to shit.
Waste and Destroy being the only skills the collective support.
Perpetuating misery,is the order of the day.
Naturally.
For when you solve a problem,you release your resources to do other things.
So productive people solve pressing problems and then get on with creating what they love.
Consumptive people wallow in misery.
Competing for “Victim of the Moment”.
And nonproductive people have choices.
Every social ill ,that our Do-Gooder’s have sought to “Cure” is still with us and thriving.
Maybe these “helpers” recognize this,hence the same people support “Safe use of Fentanol” and Murder by Committee.AKA MAID.
Bureaus are built upon perpetuating misery and deliberately trapping the victims into “Clients”.
The Ghouls of our Bureaus thrive,bonuses awarded for their success.
Homelessness is a feature of Government policy.
As theft by Government grows,which it does every year,more people get tapped out.
Every wonder why your dollar buys so much less???
Everyone with skin in the game,recognizes our State of Kleptocracy.
Except the incurably stupid and our Not Sees..
For a Not See must never see what their pay check depends on denying.
For where does a true believer in State Goodness go?
When they realize;”Are we the baddies?”
Followed by “I have learnt no useful skills,where will I get a paycheck this rich anywhere else”?
Minions gotta minion.
This election has exposed a natural meme,of these types.
Brantford Boomer.
Liberal Message to the young tax payer.
“We Play,You Pay…F.U.”
And that hostility they portray..It is not faked.
