“Rather, now is the time to move forward with fair and equitable taxation measures to fund the investments in affordable housing, transit, child care and recreation that will ensure that every child has the chance to succeed,” it concludes.

More than 40 per cent of kids in 14 Toronto neighbourhoods — mostly in the inner city or inner suburbs — were living in families below the Low-Income Measure, after taxes, or about $35,600 for a family of two adults and two children under 16 in 2014.

Children whose families are newcomers, racial minorities, living with disabilities or led by single parents are twice as likely to be in low-income households, the report says.

Sounds more like lack of planning, its all immigrants in that community, who don't integrate well. You know exactly what I mean when I say that.

When did extra curricular activities become a necessity for kids?

Would people like that not bet better off living anywhere but the GTA? Minimum wage would go a lot further in a place like St Catharines or Brantford. Housing is cheaper, extra curricular stuff is probably cheaper too. Overall standard of living more affordable. Possibly better schools/programs/smaller classes, etc.

Life can shit on you, its not how much shit falls, its how many times you can take a bath and move on. My wife has cousins who still live in rexdale, and cousins who got killed because they got caught up in that guns/gangs trouble. Same influences growing up in rexdale, and yet vastly different outcomes.

Thats exactly what I was going to suggest, but they won't do it, they all want to live together in the community in Toronto, and get support from the gov't.

I used to deliver newspapers to Thorncliffe apts, those apartments were nicer than where I grew up.

/bootstrapped it tho

Rexdale is the shit...literally. Never seen so much fucking scum before.

Yup, my cousin grew up on dawes Road too, /bootstrapped /not white and still succeed.

100% agreed.

Uses one example and applies the same logic to the rest of the population. Do you realize anyone simple being on CSI everyone here has made it. Have this same conversation on JDMR and see how that goes.

Question is why? We are all from different backgrounds and ethnicities, so why do you think we can make it and others can't and need handouts from the gov't.

fuck off with all that. ok, granted if she's sick and unable to work, she's still getting disability from the gobment. husband can't find a better paying job in toronto? nigga please, go pick up a shovel and make some more coin than sitting around being a security guard. if you arn't willing to work a little harder to give your kids better things in life then i don't know what to tell you.

i probably make the least amount here, so you know what i do in order to send my kid to the hardcore russian ran expensive ballet school? i wash flippin cars on my spare time. 0 reason in this day and age why the husband can't get out there and make a bit more money instead of being lazy and wanting other people to pay for it.

The hell they aren't.



Little jimmy needs to play hockey and have pilates classes to succeed, but I want the gubment to pay for it

That shit is a lavish privilege to do, not some given right, nor should it brought into context of "poverty".

So above you single out the minorities that have just come to Canada, but don't realize that the majority of the people that use the child care and recreation are white non-immigrants.

Waits for you to change your argument for a 3rd time. I see now why Risky just trolls you. This is like your way of humble bragging.

that's relative to certain csi'ers
