The use of food banks is up drastically in Canada. In Ontario it is up by 40% and even in the Martimes by 24%. People cannot afford housing and their wages cannot keep up with inflation. It is a sign of the times.

Wealth disparity has never been worse in North America and it is not sustainable. We seem to be headed for implosion especially in the US where the safety net is virtually non-existant as the public has been sold that helping your fellow human is a doorway into communism.

I've paid a lot of taxes in Quebec my entire career and yet have had 3 significant surgeries which were covered under Medicare. While I may not be rich, I certainly don't feel that I want for anything. So if the wealthy aren't paying taxes in America then who is feeding into the piggy bank? Under Eisenhower, salaries over 200k were heavily taxed; something which is akin to anathema in the current climate advanced largely by GOP repetitive mantras.

Things are less than ideal in my country as well, thanks in large part to globalist policies borne out of laissez-faire neoliberalism which assumed markets would naturally look after human justice issues.

Wrong.
