Momica Townson, Economist, Consultant to Candian Centre for Policy Alternatives
Monica Townson inadvertently reveals most womens' poverty to follow from a refusal or lack of government support for single parent supports, seniors' supports, and minimum wages. Recent inflation such as 7.9% to May for vegetables, double that for fresh fruit, and the ongoing rise in the price of wheat are not reflected in the cost of living in poverty.
