The Campaign 2000 is releasing their report today. There's a story in today's Star. 1 in 4 native children are living in poverty. Wow! Ontario has 6% of its children living in
poverty.

The statement in this press release that people are going to food banks to ward off starvation is absolutely true. You can't just phone up the food bank and get a hamper of food. You have to relieve your finances. Even as low as ODSP recipients' income is, those on ODSP are not permitted to visit the food bank more than twice a month.
