It is damnable that any child lives in poverty. It doesn't have to be this way.

Largest increase in a single year. We need to end all forms of poverty. The development of our youngest are most vulnerable to long term effects. 1 in 5 children. 1 in 4 babies. Gov needs to support families. We lifted them with pandemic benefits. It can be done.

This article was a long time coming. Many years ago mothers introduced me to finding formula online. Students at @AcadiaSociology spent a year with me on Kijiji and Facebook exploring what was going on from coast to coast. It was more than we imagined. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
