Over 30 years later and symptoms and services are still being blamed for our social issues.

"Your pay has inched ahead, but the high cost of housing and food claws back every bit of progress. Dreams of building wealth over time have been replaced with anxiety about slipping further behind..." -Heather Scoffield, CEO of the Canadian Tax Observatory
