Funny thing is I say this about snap in the US. Make it a regular, universal benefit. Restrict it to products grown and processed completely in the country. It would be at that point a massive anti poverty measure that also helps the economy. Its literally a win win. Why is any country exporting food before they feed their own.

Carney has no intention of reducing poverty rates. At the moment he's presiding over what's going to be a massive spike in poverty as the mortgage crisis ensues.

He could fix the structural issues that drive the affordability crisis -- one he's perfectly skilled to understand and address -- but instead he's only done things to keep the 1% wealthy.

This is more of the same. Just buying votes.

Bandaid solution, based on revenues from 2 years ago. And grocery stores still profit more than ever...

Fr, what am I supposed to do with ~$270? That's like 2 weeks of groceries at best.

2 weeks of groceries is better than nothing
