Immeasurable Resources

immeasurable resources: As an anti-poverty activist, I find it difficult to understand how people are not more alarmed over the 2013 Hunger Count Report released this month, and how we are not all incensed that people are actually hungry in a wealthy country like Canada, with its immeasurable resources, according to The Chronicle Herald. The 2013 Hunger Count Report revealed that, on the national level, food bank use decreased slightly by 4.5 per cent from 2012 to 2013. Nevertheless, as the report emphasizes, it is 23 per cent higher than in 2008 before the last recession and After reading the report, and opinion pieces published earlier this year from Sen. Hugh Segal and former NDP leader Ed Broadbent, I couldnt help but think how a basic livable income would decrease the need for food banks, and make a real difference in the lives of low-income people.
