Just read the report. Not only doesn't it say anything about the conservatives, it damns the liberals who have made no head way against child poverty during the decade they were in power.

Isn't it the parent's responsibilty to look after their kids instead of hoistng the responsibility to the government?

Start from the beginning a pay attention to the dates.

Trend Report: Poverty

• 1989 --14.4%
  
• 2004 --17.7%
  
• 2007-- 17.7%
  

So while the PC were in power the level was low....1993 Chretian elected ,poverty shoots up during the 10 years of their stewardship and peaks in 2004

The saying "Child Poverty" is absurd and emotionally manipulative boardering on deception - IT IS ADULT poverty that brings about child poverty. There should be no direct focus on children here. The focus should be on the parents of the children...when a man or a woman become poor..the family becomes poor. To use the term "child poverty" deverts the issue away from the problem facing working and non-working parents...and it seperates the family as if children are free agents or worse - all wards of the state and that parents are just props that are secondary - poverty is poverty and if I hear the term slapped on to children - I may just vomit...It is no as if this is Brazil and we have ten thousand kids walking about with no parents and homeless - nor is it Africa. Seems that the liberal manipulator is pulling heart strings again..and using the term "child" in the same manner as they do in those terrible ads... "For fifty cents a day you can feed this big eyed puppy of a human" . Poverty is an issue that no one wants to address other than the poor.

THe UN? That is a joke.

The crookedest organization in Manhattan.

They figure we are the bad guys? I wonder what they think of a few of those tin pot dictators in Africa, or perhaps the living conditions of those in India, Pakistan and so on .....

The UN can be discounted here - and very easily.

As for the Canucks - if you cannot afford kids - then do not have them.

Stephane Dion has a plan to eliminate child poverty.

Isn't it the parents job to look after their children?

How about we stop our LUDACRIS immigration policy and we won't have so many kids in poverty.

You being an obvious right winger, I assume you mean we should stop allowing non white, non english speaking people into our country? That would solve all our problems?

Which of "da four pillows" of his plan does that fall under?

No. We just shouldn't let anyone in the country unless they are here on a work permit and the employer proved they could not hire a Canadian... ya know, kind of like how every other country in the world operates their immigration policies.

Kind of like the USA ...?....which doesnt require employment.

Or like Australia...?.......which doesn't require employment.

It helps to have a job waiting, no doubt, but not mandatory .

mikedavid please prepare for us a summary of Canada's immigration policies.

It is clear you don't know what you are talking about. Educate yourself please, before bipping off.
