Canada has the lowest child poverty rate in the G7.

Since 2015, we've helped lift over 650,000 kids out of poverty and halved Canada's poverty rate with programs like the Canada Child Benefit.

That’s real progress towards building a better future for all Canadians.

1. Crazy Canucks. How ya gonna groom 'em for slavery if they're not made desperate?

You're depriving some obscenely wealthy person of another yacht or mansion. It's nuts!

2. I know it. It could be everywhere in the world were it not for autocrats.

Autocrats: colonialism of their own country.

3. Oooh! What a great encapsulation! "Autocrats: colonialism of their own country"

Liked it. Will try to use that, to remember it.

It can be adapted. "Wealth and income disparity: colonialism of their consumers and workers by billionaires". I originally wrote "colonialism by billionaires", but that doesn't get into the idea of low minimum wages and high rents in their own country, mostly or worst case in US.
