    This what i learned about poverty in Canada from the info-graphic.I learned that people who are children or seniors, disabled people alone mothers and recent immigrants have a better of chance to be put in poverty.I also learned that only 22% of people on the street in Ontario get help from people or places.Thats not very much.I also learned that Canada is above the average of poverty

  3. In the infographic on poverty it states that over 3 million Canadians are in poverty. Also 600,000 of the Canadians in poverty in Canada are children.I also learned in the infographic that 13.3% of children in Canada are in poverty. Also 6% of Canadians have to sleep on the street or in a shelter. And that is what I learned in the infographic.
