Nicole's media review #2


             The Toronto Star wrote an editorial on ending child poverty here in Canada. This editorial highlights the fact that in 1989, the House of Commons were dedicated to put an end to child poverty in Canada by the year 2000, known as Campaign 2000.  28 years later, child poverty has gone up to 18.3% from 15.8% since 1989. Thus showing that child poverty did not end, but unfortunately has gotten worse. The Toronto Star sends the message of how Canada might be in the top ten wealthiest countries, but ranks 26 out of 35 wealthy nations for child inequality and is in definite need of change.
