Hey, at least we officially know the gays are more important than the blacks in the victim hierarchy.
Lower class is poverty. Not being able to afford extra for your kids, never owning property, and having zero retirement savings would be poverty.
They'd be even more fucked in any other city, plus that was me having them pay ZERO taxes, which wouldn't be the case. Fuck, if you look at that and think there are 'extras' by modern standards in Canada that's pretty ridiculous.
Add in, that could be one parent, with no income splitting, actually only taking home $48k. Tons of wiggle room, right? Being one major spend (car accident, medical bill, etc) away from being destitute is a pretty low bar.

And important tidbit they purposefully left out.
The media is absolutely the major cause of all this social strife. Who ever owns the media needs to be hung in the streets.
Were you supporting and paying for 3 other people on that salary? It says family income. Ask yourself how that would have gone if you were the only provider in family of 4.
Depends where you live, but for a family income, that's for sure poverty in all major centres.
That's both adults working full time making $14 an hour.
I live in the prairies, so not one of the more expensive places to live.
Rent $1500 (mine's 1800 for an apartment that's for sure not large enough for family, but is in a nice, crime free neighbourhood)
Let's say these people don't even pay income tax (which they will pay a tiny bit of).
There's $18k of their income gone already.
$42k
2 cell phones, internet, electrical (no water cause it's included in rent).
$300 per month. $3600 per year.
Food for a family of 4.
Typical family of 4 spent $12k a year on groceries and eating out in 2018. I think we all know food prices have gone up. But we'll go with that.
Down to 26,400.
One car, and since it's one car, we're going with a small SUV since it's a family of 4. Insurance, gas, car payment, maintenance, you're looking at roughly 10k for the year.
Down to 16k.
Then we have clothes for 4 people, school supplies, entertainment, sports for kids.
They're scrapping the bottom of the barrel. In Winnipeg. One of the most affordable cities in our country.
So if you're living in a poor neighbourhood, with one car for the family, have no disposable income, and probably can't afford to put your kids in sports... you are poor. That would be poverty. So the article is right. Not sure how any of you think that's an acceptable salary for a family of 4. My wife and I held off on trying for kids until our household income was north of 200k, because if you're going to bring someone into this world the least you can do is give them opportunity.
About 10000 years behind the rest of the planet when it came to technological advancement lol.
Can't believe conservatives have finally gotten lefties to essentially say "But look at what they were wearing, they deserved it".
No u.
Good one bud.
Could in Manitoba in the past. Now there's a security door to enter, you show valid ID and it gets recorded, and a security guard lets you in.
Natives were going wild before, company had to protect their product.
For a company that size, a 1k loss isn't a big deal. There's absolutely no fucking way the warehouse guy filling the order gets in shit like you said they would. That would be abso-fucking-lutely retarded. Warehouse guy is there to fulfill an order, not do forensic accounting on it.
"Fullest extent of the law"
Oh, so 8 hours of community service? Fuck sakes, sometimes we don't even put murderers in prison.
Exactly. If you don't want people defacing something, just don't paint it where cars drive?
Like fuck, pretty common sense.
Eh, I'd be surprised if Toronto and Vancouver aren't effected in some way.
The prairies? The correction might be 10k, which is negligible.
Anywhere you paid a gross amount for the land hopefully you see something change.
Are you?
If you're a slave in your own marriage, you picked extremely wrong in a partner. That's not a cultural thing in the west, that's a personal failing of yours.
A slave that can leave at any time, get alimony payments, child support payments, and half of the assets.
Really seems like slavery...
Can't imagine paying $1.8 for a lot that size for a house, regardless of location. Might make sense in some cities, but Toronto isn't nearly as nice as a ton of other global cities, it's boring and lacking in anything distinct.
The fact you can get way better bang for your buck in LA is fucking wild.
Or do what Manitoba did. Build 'Manitoba Housing' (welfare housing) in every neighbourhood in their city so they could spread the crime around.
Too late. Canada imported millions of dipshits from shithole countries who don't care as long as they get their free shit that they never contributed for, and their forefathers never worked for.
They'll let the government do whatever they want as long as they can continue to bring their 45 noncontributing relatives over and get free everything, while being a net loss to our tax burden.
Every WWII vet would be fucking ashamed to see what happened to our country.
Canada never needed these ethics laws in place because Canadians themselves used to have ethics, and would vote these people out and shun them from society. Being a criminal used to be shameful. We have a black community in Toronto who glorifies it, and we've imported people from countries who have it so culturally ingrained they don't even bat an eye at it.
We're so far gone over the deep end, we're fucked. I'm fully on team accelarationist at this point, and do whatever the fuck you need to for you and your family, because your country no longer gives a flying fuck about you, and will actively take advantage of you to dole out money to non Canadians.
African dudes at the club are no better.
Now I'm not saying melanin causes this, but holy fuck you'd have to be dense to not notice a pretty crazy correlation.
You can't.
My area of expertise, ex-grain elevator towns as an example. They closed due to the new and improved massive concrete inland grain terminals. That was a loss of 8 solid, well paying jobs in every single town that had a wooden grain elevator. Now, that doesn't sound like much, but it really is in a small town.
Losing 8 roughly 65k a year jobs in a town of 500 people means you just lost 3.2% of the jobs in town (assuming half the population is of working age). On top of that, farmers aren't driving into town anymore to sell their grain. So the farm supply store decides to move to the town where the grain terminal is. Oh, you just lost another 6 jobs and another business in town.
Farmers aren't stopping at the restaurants, and neither are the 14 people out of jobs who moved for work. Restaurants, gas station, and the local bank branch/credit union are losing some business. They all let go one or two employees each.
There's a ripple effect throughout the whole town, and a quarter of the town over a period of time moves for employment. The town now doesn't have enough kids to justify there being a school, so they get bussed over to the next big town. There goes teacher jobs. Town too small for an RCMP detachment, more jobs gone.
Add in that farms are getting larger, and less people are farming, so yeah, the farmer is making more money, but he needs less equipment, and one rich dude isn't helping out the local economy as much as 25 moderately well off individuals.
You end up with an empty husk of a town, with a gas station trying it's best to hold on, and none of the residents actually work there.
Throwing more people into an area without an economic development is just going to lead to an exodus of people.
Economies of scale are probably super similar for fishing, mining, and lumber. It's not an old man and his son on their fishing boat anymore, it's massive ocean trawlers. The new ones have the fishing processing factory on the boat below deck. It's wild. Also means those towns don't have a fish processing plant, and doesn't have those jobs. Leads to the same problem as the agricultural one.
Unless there are already available jobs in those rural towns, moving people there would be a fucking nightmare for everyone involved.
Bet you dollars to donuts it ends up being roughly a 10 to 12 unit condo building.
The country with the least amount of diversity on the planet has low crime and high social cohesion. Who would have thought?
A culture that puts honour and respect at the forefront of their belief system has barely any crime.
Not all cultures are created equally, and we're importing some of the worst ones on mass. We'll never be able to do this because we already have millions of shitbags here.
How was failing reading comprehension? Seems everyone else managed.
Yep, that's the same weak soy filled body on each side.
I'd be pissed too if I were walking around built like a 12 year old boy who never played a sport in their life.
