For two decades, statistics show the number of Canadians living below the poverty line has been dropping – to just 7.8 per cent of the population in 2018. It’s not zero, but it is significant progress.
Roslyn Kunin is a consulting economist and senior fellow of the Canada West Foundation. She recently wrote a piece for The Orca on the fight against poverty.
Roslyn joined Rick Cluff in studio.
He has conducted more than 50,000 interviews and asked more than half a million questions, of prime ministers, premiers, presidents and some of the world’s biggest sports and entertainment personalities.
