Funny thing is I say this about snap in the US. Make it a regular, universal benefit. Restrict it to products grown and processed completely in the country. It would be at that point a massive anti poverty measure that also helps the economy. Its literally a win win. Why is any country exporting food before they feed their own.
Carney has no intention of reducing poverty rates. At the moment he’s presiding over what’s going to be a massive spike in poverty as the mortgage crisis ensues.
He could fix the structural issues that drive the affordability crisis – one he’s perfectly skilled to understand and address – but instead he’s only done things to keep the 1% wealthy.
