Poor No More
| We were always told, "If you work hard, things will get better."
But many hard-working Canadians have only seen things get worse.
Corporate profits soared, but only the rich got richer. The recession
took away more jobs and piled up more debt, leaving more people poor or
insecure. |
 |
| Poor No More offers solutions to Canada's working
poor. The film takes three Canadians to a world where people do not have
to beg, where housing is affordable and university education is free.
They ask themselves: if other countries can do this, why don't we? | |
| Hosted by TV and film star Mary Walsh, Poor No More
offers an engaging look at Canadians stuck in low paying jobs with no
security and no future. Mary then takes us on a journey to Ireland and
Sweden so we can see how these countries have tackled poverty while
strengthening their economies. The film offers hope to those who have to
work two jobs a day and to those who cannot even find work. | |

which is awesome.
I do have something I want to bring up with the date of this. Dec 14th
is also the night that Word in Edgewise is having the Occupied version
of WIE. I am not sure if it is a good idea to compete with this event,
plus I would like to attend. Just something to think about and perhaps
bring up with Tom.
