    So if you’re a single parent you and your child should just… what? Work full time and sleep on the street?

        To even have a single bedroom you’d have to be making 34$/hour. And if you’re making 34$ an hour, minimum wage being 15.50, what the hell are you supposed to do if you make 20$ an hour? Sleep in a homeless shelter?

        Don’t they keep telling us that working full time will provide for us? Weren’t we all promised that when we were children? “Grow up and work full time and you can get a home and make a living” well damn eh you can’t even even have a 1 bedroom apartment working full time lol. Not unless you make 14 dollars more an hour than the average income.

          The single-worker dream was never going to work when economies in Asia and Europe were already shifting to having women work.

            Jfc, let’s blame women in the work force. You are sadly out of touch with the current reality.

              Let’s blame how ass-backwards North America was when the Canadian dream was created.

        Ahhh, the Canadian dream. Why not sleep more per bedroom, why not 4 to a room with that mentality? 2 bunk beds per room?
