Should We Not Care why We Must Establish Parks About The Children?
Maureen Gammon argues poverty in British Columbia is rising with 212,492 on welfare in May 1990 and 126,000 unemployed in June. Welfare rates lag poverty lines, rents consume over half incomes, and 75,276 welfare recipients are children. She cites End Legislated Poverty urging higher minimum wage and welfare rates, urges local council support, and links poverty to mill closures and environmental debates affecting jobs and logging.
