Trey S: It was reported in the SPRCès report income and poverty 2009, that estimates were that the poverty rate would climb to as high as 25% due to the economic crisis.

So with the number of EI claims that jumped last year 150% and the fact the welfare claims have made a considerable jump as well, it is feasible that is higher then 19%, since it has been reported in the spec, that many more of the working poor and those who have lost jobs are accessing food banks, soup kitchens and the food vans, what does that tell ya.
