You cannot eradicate poverty anymore that you can eradicate laziness and stupidity.
Don't you know that a govenment big enough to give you everything you want is also big enought to take away everything you have?

A national housing strategy is an essential part of eradicating poverty in Canada. As a member of the G8 industrial nations we must seize the chance to join the other nations in adopting a national housing stategy. The Conservative government of Canada must refrain from modest piecemeal approachs to this problem. They must invest in a nation wide housing development that is long term in scope and put an emphasis on "green" housing as well. The Conservatives need to recognize that the homeless are not only people with mental health issue such as dependancy issues, but also realize women and children are a big part ot the homeless population. At a time when the econmy is in need of stimulus a project of this scale will be a godsend. There is obviously an issue of priorities, as there is always, when governments decide on these issues. The federal government ought to refrain from a whopping 7% tax cut for business where the big winners once again are banks and oil companies and invest in Canadians who need a hand up.
