The, published Wednesday by Campaign 200 -- a non-partisan, pan-Canadian network of 120 national, provincial and community partner organizations working to end child and family poverty -- found that in 2019, 1.3 million children, or 17.7 per cent, were living below the Census Family Low Income Tax Measure After Tax .
“Our year over year analysis shows that only 24,000 kids were lifted out of poverty in 2019,” Leila Sarangi, national director of Campaign 2000, said in a press release. “At this rate, it would take another 54 years to end child poverty.”The report found the average single-family with two children living in low income was $13.262 away from the CFLIM-AT in 2019. This marks a significant increase from the $9,612 in 2015.
Meanwhile, Manitoba recorded the highest child poverty rate among the country’s provinces, at 28.4 per cent. The report said 2016 census data suggests child poverty rates were much higher than the national average among racialized and immigrant communities. “People with disabilities were facing financial hardship prior to the pandemic and are faced with even more disadvantages now,” Khedr, who is also the Founder of DEEN Support Services and Race and Disability Canada, said in the press release.
The authors call for the federal government to increase CCB allocations in the 2022 budget so “all families with low incomes below the CFLIM-AT can access CCB pandemic top-up amounts, no matter the age of their children.” The report recommends plans be developed to prevent, reduce and eradicate poverty in collaboration with First Nations, Inuit, and Métis governments, and organizations, including women’s and 2SLGBQQIA+ organizations.
Irresponsible 'parents'. Frankly, parents should be licensed, can't pay for it, can't have any, have psychological issues, can't have any - would resolve a great many issues (poverty, abuse, etc).

You want Millenials to have children... how about making it afordable for them to do so again. Not like it is the 50's to the 70's out there anymore. The drop from Gen X should have been a ie something was wrong. Now we imagrate workers.
😥
unacceptable
1.3 million families live in poverty in Canada. Many of the 1.3 million are not just children. Very few are all by themselves. Please report real news and not clickbait
And it's going to get worse
men have left this rotten world to the young
.... So, the fact that around the 3% of the population is in poverty, means that the UN is wrong
The question here is what is the threshold for poverty in Canada? I mean, when a child is considered poor?. Because I understand that Canada is a rich and well-developed country, with one of the best quality of life ad per as UN... [follow]
A)Well Government &Staff Puts Many There Toos! Put US There after Doctors Killed Anne1989&I Quit Work Too Care For Her; Gave 1200$ for6 then Kidnaped &Gave Foster Parents$854 aMonth! One asked How we did so well(Nobody Doos It)We Grows Food&Sold which Ispent all on Kids! Threw Me
And our concern is vaccinating them? How about feeding them first? What a waste of resources!
While everyone here seems to be blaming the Trudeau government you do know that before him there was a lot more years of conservative rule and so much of this came from pro business less people.
And more children are born into poverty every year. It's hard to keep up. cdnpoli woof
1.5 MILLION Disabled Canadians & 1.3 MILLION Children are PART of the 4 MILLION PLUS Canadians that 'exist' in DIRE POVERTY in Canada - significant portion are women and minorities (besides Disabled and Children) - WHAT THE HELL is HAPPENING, Canada?
Not according to the PO💩Trudeau!!
Well if this doesn’t make birth control free, i give up!
Canada is not what it used to be! Our children are suffering, shame on our government!
OH Canada 😳😯 shameful
Define poverty
The Canadian🇨🇦 gov doesn't care; it doesn't care about Indigenous people who have a high suicide rate ; it doesn't care about the French of Quebec⚜️ . It doesn't care anything about people . Government is about People , but it doesn't have a mandate about it.
Not surprising and very concerning because children should be our greatest priority and the future depends on healthy children - poverty tends to destroy healthy minds, healthy bodies and causes depression, anxiety and generally poor outcomes. Canada needs to do better.
In Canada these statistics are disturbing 1 is too many let alone 1.3 million
Thanks Trudeau I thought Canada was back lol
