I'm thanking that post not because I agree with all of it (which I do 100%), but because I would have gotten frustrated with typing it on a phone after the first paragraph or two.

There are so many different ways of measuring "poverty" - OECD's definition, LICO (both of which are warped since a single parent in Toronto earning $20,000 a year would likely be in poverty, but that same family in rural New Brunswick would be able to scrape by)... but as I said above even the MOST CONSERVATIVE estimate is 5%. Which should not be acceptable to anyone.
