sad, we all say we care, but do we really?

A message from someone I know, someone I respect, and someone who I think who has though deeply about the issue, cares deeply about the issue, and is probably deeply hurt that nothing gets done about it

The issue is homelessness/poverty. The two usually go hand in hand, but there are also plenty of people who have homes but are living in poverty. There are many things for Canadians to be proud of, but many to be ashamed of as well. Interesting and sad that we consider Canada to be the best place to live in the world, yet we cannot adequately care for thousands, perhaps even millions, of Canadians.

It is up to all of us, every voter who gives a damn, to make housing and poverty issues a priority in the federal campaign. Talk about how important housing is, ask your local candidates about it, ask about it at all candidates meetings, write about it, talk to your friends and neighbours about it. Political parties only respond to what gets them votes, so let your candidates know that your vote depends on what they and their parties will do to eliminate homelessness and poverty in Canada.
