My member of parliament, David Christopherson, sent me another newsletter regarding the “Fighting Poverty in Hamilton” house of commons debates on September 22, 2006. I could have used the “No Postage Required” section to send a reply, but e-mailed mine.

“Poverty is a cancer in my community and across our country. We owe it to all Canadians current and future to work to eliminate it.”

Do you not see the absurdity in your statement? You start by informing us that 52% of recent immigrants to Hamilton live below the poverty line. The only thing “shocking and shameful” is that Canada continues to allow uneducated and unskilled immigrants into our great country. How can we even consider “future” Canadians with our current economy, especially in Hamilton??
