Summary
• Governments around the world have tried to get rid
of poverty but have failed
• Poverty levels vary year to year due to many factors,
economic opportunities
• Liberals ran on a campaign they would lift 315,000
out of poverty -
https://www.liberal.ca/realchange/fighting-poverty/
• “There is likely to be a reduction of children
living in poverty at the end of this year,
potentially by 300,000, but Macdonald said
maybe about one-quarter that number, or
75,000, can be chalked up to the child benefit.
That smaller decline isn’t something to be
dismissed, but it isn’t the sweeping change of
300,000 fewer children living in poverty — or a
40 per cent cut — that Trudeau touted.”

• Summary
• Poverty is about not having enough money to meet basic needs including food, clothing and
shelter. However, poverty is more, much more than just not having enough money.
• The World Bank Organization describes poverty in this way:
• “Poverty is hunger. Poverty is lack of shelter. Poverty is being sick and not being able to see a
doctor. Poverty is not having access to school and not knowing how to read. Poverty is not having
a job, is fear for the future, living one day at a time.
• Poverty has many faces, changing from place to place and across time, and has been described in
many ways. Most often, poverty is a situation people want to escape. So poverty is a call to
action -- for the poor and the wealthy alike -- a call to change the world so that many more may
have enough to eat, adequate shelter, access to education and health, protection from violence,
and a voice in what happens in their communities.”

What is the bread basket calculation?
Source - https://inflationcalculator.ca/cpi-basket/
This is the content of the basket
of goods and services that the
government (Statistics Canada)
uses to generate the Consumer
Price Index (CPI) and inflation
rates. Next to each item you
will see the weight (out of 100)
assigned to it based on the
average Canadian’s spending.
Note that both the content of
the basket and the weight of
each component have both been
updated in 2015. The basket’s
content is updated every 4 years
and the weights are updated
every 2 years.
What is household spending?

reduction targets of 20 per cent
from 2015 levels by 2020 and a
50 per cent drop by 2030.
Social Development Minister
Jean-Yves Duclos is expected to

Blog Poverty
• People on poverty in Canada has been a big issue for the past 40+ years. The world economy has slowly shifted manufacturing to
low cost producing countries which has led to more jobs being created in the service sector.
• Many government have tried over the years to cut poverty rates, but have had limited results. The best solution to poverty is a job.
The more you take from other people and give to those that are able body to work the more it hurts the overall economy

• Margaret Thatcher said it best “The problem with socialism is that you run out other people’s money” -
https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/138248-the-problem-with-socialism-is-that-you-eventually-run-out
• In 2015 is when Canadians went to the poll. The ruling government had been in power for close to a decade as such people decided
to vote the government out for the Liberals. The liberals were elected as such are now working on year three of their mandate. The
Liberals mandate included a reduction in poverty - https://www.liberal.ca/realchange/fighting-poverty/. The problem is despite
the many speeches saying poverty levels have come down under the Liberals which is only partly true. Yes, there has been a
reduction, but very little of that has to do with Liberal policies - http://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/fact-check-how-deep-does-the-

up to the child benefit. That smaller decline isn't something to be dismissed, but it isn't the sweeping change of 300,000 fewer
children living in poverty -- or a 40 per cent cut -- that Trudeau touted.
• "I can give you a specific measure of how much baloney it is: Out of the 40 per cent reduction (in poverty rates), it's about 30 per
cent of that," said Macdonald, who has blogged repeatedly about the government's estimates.

• Summary:
• There is more to be done to reduce poverty rates not just in Canada, but around the world. The problem is that it will take a
combination of policies that support both economic growth and targeted social spending to help those most vulnerable when it
comes to breaking the cycle of poverty.

years/ or https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/average-wages-and-job-quality-canada
But like Trudeau’s other promises, they’ve turned out to be nothing but lies.
In fact, the Trudeau economy has led to the weakest wage growth in 20 years.
As reported by Bloomberg, average hourly wage increases were up 1.1% year-over-year, which was the lowest increase since 1998. It is also far
below the historical average of 2.7% in the last 10 years.
When looking further into the numbers, things are even worse for permanent workers. They had the lowest wage growth since 1997.
And when it comes to the province-by-province picture, the increase in Ontario was only 0.1% year-over-year, which is the lowest increase ever
recorded.
Harper and Poverty
• Tax cuts - https://globalnews.ca/news/1356467/tax-cuts-since-2005-net-
canadians-30b-pbo/ “Another gift to the government in the report was that the
PBO found that in relative terms — lower income Canadians earning between
$12,200 and $23,300 benefited the most, increasing their after-tax income by four
per cent.”
• https://ottawacitizen.com/opinion/columnists/poilievre-harper-not-trudeau-sr-
actually-reduced-poverty “If you do not like those numbers, try Statistics
Canada’s low-income cut-off line (LICO), which measures poverty and inequality
based on the share of income that households must devote to food, clothing and
shelter. When Trudeau left office, the percentage of people living below that line
had increased to 13.7 per cent. In Harper’s last full year in office, it dropped to a
record low of 8.8 per cent. ”

Ontario new Minimum Wage Law and other
reforms
• http://www.recorder.ca/2017/05/18/minimum-wage-hike-worries-chamber
The potential reforms are coming at a time when costs for consumers and the cost of doing
business is high and putting Ontario at a competitive disadvantage,” the chamber’s statement
adds.
“Ontario has experienced slower growth in GDP and job creation than in the past and drastic
reforms to labor and employment run the risk of causing serious damage to the future
prosperity of the province.”
The Ontario chamber is urging Wynne to do an economic impact analysis of the proposed
reforms.
Poverty Groups / Child Benefits
• https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2017/06/12/anti-poverty-
groups-push-trudeau-government-to-boost-child-benefit.html
A national coalition of anti-poverty groups is asking the Trudeau government to
boost the basic amount it provides in child benefits in hopes of cutting child
poverty rates in Canada in half by the end of the decade.
The coalition wants the government to change the rules so those earning less
can keep more of the benefit, and to increase payments with the cost of living,
retroactive to when the new benefit was first introduced last July.
Broadbent
• Broadbent – speech to the Finance Committee in 2013:
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsUlt0bP2yU
•
• Fact 1 – Harper has increased program spending either via the transfers or direct program spending. It is
not Harper’s fault if various provincial governments waste money -
http://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/provincial-transfers-and-program-spending. You do not have to
take my word as you can watch this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqLDHQ-iJU8.
• Fact 2 – Harper has done very good on job creation area despite lower world-wide growth. You do not have
to take my word as you can review the Stats Canada results in areas like wage (reported), jobs by industry
(reported), Exports (reported), etc. http://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/economy-lpc-impact or
http://mb.cme-mec.ca/?action=show&lid=XE8MT-GCZX2-KAD9G&comaction=show&cid=3CWP8-FKASM-
JYNFE
• Fact 3 – Where is the discussion on private –vs- public sector? http://www.cfib-
fcei.ca/english/article/7107-wage-watch-2015.html
• Fact 4 – Broadbent supports more moneys for daycare, right? We all know how well the PQ model has work,
right? http://www.nationalpost.com/news/story.html?id=5a5e1555-093f-4959-9395-028c36daadc7&p=2
Broadbent
• Fact 5 – Broadbent gives credit to the working class benefit. http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/bnfts/wtb/menu-eng.html.
So, how come this benefit is not mentioned by either NDP or LPC?
• Fact 6 – Broadbent talks about GIS increases which are now proposed by Mulcair. The issue that Broadbent does not
discuss is other programs like pension splitting. The article also is dated so it does not deal with RRIF or how many
seniors are using TFSA - http://www.carp.ca/2015/04/21/carp-members-welcome-government-action-in-budget-
2015/ FYI – Harper is planning to increase GIS - http://servingbrant.ca/node/48
• Fact 7 – Broadbent wants a new welfare program. It seems to me that Broadbent does not get the purpose of
welfare. Welfare is not design to make people rich, but to help those that most need the support. Ontario has wasted
moneys on gas plants, eHealth, etc. and that money could have went to helping the most vulnerable in Ontario.
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ehealth-scandal-a-1b-waste-auditor-1.808640
• Fact 8 – Broadbent is all over the stock options issues. Broadbent again does not get it about how small startup use
stock options to as part of luring talent to their organization - http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-09-
24/ndp-plan-to-boost-tax-on-stock-options-seen-stunting-canada-tech
• Fact 9 – Tax avoidance was discussed and again since this is dated it does not deal with Harper and his government
going after tax avoidance areas as part of taxation enforce, i.e. tax treaties, transfer pricing, OECD work, etc.
• Fact 10 – increasing the taxes to top 1% never brings in the revenue windfall due to how rich have accountants,
lawyers, etc. that know how to work within the framework of the various countries’ ITA
• Summary:
• I am not surprised by Broadbent as it is all about taxing the rich. It should be noted the information in Broadbent’s
statement are part of the NDP platform. This should tell you that the Broadbent Institute was directly involved with
NDP platform.

How do you fix income inequality and Poverty?

  • 1. Canada and Anti-Poverty By: Paul Young, CPA, CGA Date: September 10, 2020

  • 3. Summary • Governments around the world have tried to get rid of poverty but have failed • Poverty levels vary year to year due to many factors, economic opportunities • Liberals ran on a campaign they would lift 315,000 out of poverty - https://www.liberal.ca/realchange/fighting-poverty/ • “There is likely to be a reduction of children living in poverty at the end of this year, potentially by 300,000, but Macdonald said maybe about one-quarter that number, or 75,000, can be chalked up to the child benefit. That smaller decline isn’t something to be dismissed, but it isn’t the sweeping change of 300,000 fewer children living in poverty — or a 40 per cent cut — that Trudeau touted.” http://www.news1130.com/2017/07/27/baloney -meter-how-deep-does-the-canada-child-benefit- cut-child-poverty-rates/

  • 5. • Poverty is about not having enough money to meet basic needs including food, clothing and shelter. However, poverty is more, much more than just not having enough money. • The World Bank Organization describes poverty in this way: • “Poverty is hunger. Poverty is lack of shelter. Poverty is being sick and not being able to see a doctor. Poverty is not having access to school and not knowing how to read. Poverty is not having a job, is fear for the future, living one day at a time. • Poverty has many faces, changing from place to place and across time, and has been described in many ways. Most often, poverty is a situation people want to escape. So poverty is a call to action -- for the poor and the wealthy alike -- a call to change the world so that many more may have enough to eat, adequate shelter, access to education and health, protection from violence, and a voice in what happens in their communities.” Source: http://www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en/departments/esic/overview/content/what_is_poverty.html What is Poverty?

Liberal Party of Canada / Poverty Source - https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/liberals-set-to-unveil-anti-poverty-law-detail-homelessness- program-1.4163347 The government's strategy sets reduction targets of 20 per cent from 2015 levels by 2020 and a 50 per cent drop by 2030. Social Development Minister Jean-Yves Duclos is expected to outline the new law to a group of anti-poverty activists. There are also expectations that Duclos will outline federal funding to roll out through a new centerpiece homelessness program. • There are systemic issues with housing - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/global-real-estate-market-issues- and-solutions-october-2018 • Carbon tax is regressive tax which means it hurts low income more than high income - https://www.futurity.org/poor-families-hardest-hit-by-carbon-tax/ • The problem socialism is you eventually run out of other people’s money - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/failures-of-socialism-106572893 • This statement is more about winning an election than it is about sound policy • You solved poverty by creating conditions that support good paying jobs.

The Liberal in the 1990s did nothing on income inequality: https://www.policyalternatives.ca/newsroom/news-releases/martins-economic-record-marked-increased-income-inequality-no-real- wage-gains Here is what is said on income tax splitting: http://fullcomment.nationalpost.com/2014/11/05/andrew-coyne-conservatives-tax- package-with-income-splitting-corrects-inequality/. Justin says he would take the $2B income tax splitting and put it into infrastructure! • Ontario has introduced the HST. HST now applies to many items that were exempt from PST: http://www.taxtips.ca/salestaxes/sales-tax-rates- 2014.htm. So, how is HST helping the middle class? Additional Links: http://www.bdo.ca/en/Library/Services/Tax/pages/Tax-Factors/2014- 01/Canadian-sales-tax-implications-of-selling-goods-over-the-internet.aspx • All level governments are looking for more money as such property taxes have increases as well as the potential for new taxes/user fees: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/economy/economy-lab/kathleen-wynne-left-with-few-options-to-fix-ontarios-revenue- problem/article19813010

  • 17. Blog Poverty • People on poverty in Canada has been a big issue for the past 40+ years. The world economy has slowly shifted manufacturing to low cost producing countries which has led to more jobs being created in the service sector. • Many government have tried over the years to cut poverty rates, but have had limited results. The best solution to poverty is a job. The more you take from other people and give to those that are able body to work the more it hurts the overall economy https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2017/03/16/pilot-project-to-introduce-a-basic-income-in-ontario-gets-strong-public- support.html • Margaret Thatcher said it best “The problem with socialism is that you run out other people’s money” - https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/138248-the-problem-with-socialism-is-that-you-eventually-run-out • In 2015 is when Canadians went to the poll. The ruling government had been in power for close to a decade as such people decided to vote the government out for the Liberals. The liberals were elected as such are now working on year three of their mandate. The Liberals mandate included a reduction in poverty - https://www.liberal.ca/realchange/fighting-poverty/. The problem is despite the many speeches saying poverty levels have come down under the Liberals which is only partly true. Yes, there has been a reduction, but very little of that has to do with Liberal policies - http://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/fact-check-how-deep-does-the- canada-child-benefit-cut-child-poverty-rates-1.3521077 key quote” There is likely to be a reduction of children living in poverty at the end of this year, potentially by 300,000, but Macdonald said maybe about one-quarter that number, or 75,000, can be chalked up to the child benefit. That smaller decline isn't something to be dismissed, but it isn't the sweeping change of 300,000 fewer children living in poverty -- or a 40 per cent cut -- that Trudeau touted. • "I can give you a specific measure of how much baloney it is: Out of the 40 per cent reduction (in poverty rates), it's about 30 per cent of that," said Macdonald, who has blogged repeatedly about the government's estimates. • Source - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/poverty-in-canada-june-2017-analysis or https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/policy-income-inequality-canada • Summary: • There is more to be done to reduce poverty rates not just in Canada, but around the world. The problem is that it will take a combination of policies that support both economic growth and targeted social spending to help those most vulnerable when it comes to breaking the cycle of poverty.

In fact, the Trudeau economy has led to the weakest wage growth in 20 years. As reported by Bloomberg, average hourly wage increases were up 1.1% year-over-year, which was the lowest increase since 1998. It is also far below the historical average of 2.7% in the last 10 years. When looking further into the numbers, things are even worse for permanent workers. They had the lowest wage growth since 1997. And when it comes to the province-by-province picture, the increase in Ontario was only 0.1% year-over-year, which is the lowest increase ever recorded.
  • 24. Harper and Poverty • Tax cuts - https://globalnews.ca/news/1356467/tax-cuts-since-2005-net- canadians-30b-pbo/ “Another gift to the government in the report was that the PBO found that in relative terms — lower income Canadians earning between $12,200 and $23,300 benefited the most, increasing their after-tax income by four per cent.” • https://ottawacitizen.com/opinion/columnists/poilievre-harper-not-trudeau-sr- actually-reduced-poverty “If you do not like those numbers, try Statistics Canada’s low-income cut-off line (LICO), which measures poverty and inequality based on the share of income that households must devote to food, clothing and shelter. When Trudeau left office, the percentage of people living below that line had increased to 13.7 per cent. In Harper’s last full year in office, it dropped to a record low of 8.8 per cent. ”

The coalition wants the government to change the rules so those earning less can keep more of the benefit, and to increase payments with the cost of living, retroactive to when the new benefit was first introduced last July.

So, how come this benefit is not mentioned by either NDP or LPC? • Fact 6 – Broadbent talks about GIS increases which are now proposed by Mulcair. The issue that Broadbent does not discuss is other programs like pension splitting. The article also is dated so it does not deal with RRIF or how many seniors are using TFSA - http://www.carp.ca/2015/04/21/carp-members-welcome-government-action-in-budget- 2015/ FYI – Harper is planning to increase GIS - http://servingbrant.ca/node/48 • Fact 7 – Broadbent wants a new welfare program. It seems to me that Broadbent does not get the purpose of welfare. Welfare is not design to make people rich, but to help those that most need the support. Ontario has wasted moneys on gas plants, eHealth, etc. and that money could have went to helping the most vulnerable in Ontario. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ehealth-scandal-a-1b-waste-auditor-1.808640 • Fact 8 – Broadbent is all over the stock options issues. Broadbent again does not get it about how small startup use stock options to as part of luring talent to their organization - http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-09- 24/ndp-plan-to-boost-tax-on-stock-options-seen-stunting-canada-tech • Fact 9 – Tax avoidance was discussed and again since this is dated it does not deal with Harper and his government going after tax avoidance areas as part of taxation enforce, i.e. tax treaties, transfer pricing, OECD work, etc. • Fact 10 – increasing the taxes to top 1% never brings in the revenue windfall due to how rich have accountants, lawyers, etc. that know how to work within the framework of the various countries’ ITA • Summary: • I am not surprised by Broadbent as it is all about taxing the rich. It should be noted the information in Broadbent’s statement are part of the NDP platform. This should tell you that the Broadbent Institute was directly involved with NDP platform.

You have more population growth so the 800K+ drop is very misleading! https://nationalpost.com/pmn/news- pmn/canada-news-pmn/baloney-meter-how- deep-does-the-canada-child-benefit-cut-child- poverty-rates • • https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/20 19-election-poverty-and-income-inequality- august-2019 • • (It is great to see CPC is starting to push back on stats.
