Poverty level is at $44K for a family of 4 in Canada, but in the US it is only $25,100.00 for a family of 4.

So without investigating why those numbers are so different - should the US increase to $44K or should Canada lower theirs to $25K ??? Or perhaps there are other reason for the gap. $44k is nothing to sneeze at in the US. I raised 2 *******, owned a home and had 2 vehicles on about that much. So if I use the left logic of comparison, I guess Canada's poverty level is way to high.
I mean it seems to be the lefts only concern that we are the same as other countries - the demographics and other facts don't matter as long as the outcome is the same.
Speaking of Which,
It is the lefts view that our constitution is "out dated" but that only seems to apply to the 1st and 2nd amendments. When it comes the 14th amendment the constitution suddenly becomes "off-limits". If the left is so determined that the US be like "everyone else" then we should get rid of Birthright citizenship. The US and Canada are the only developed countries that still have it. Why should we be like everyone else when it comes to poverty and how much a loaf of bread cost, but not this?

Just for the record, I'm in favor of the birthright citizenship, You are native to the land in which you are born and should have citizen rights. However when it comes to the parents not being citizens, then they need to either legally apply for citizenship and stay - or revoke the new born's citizenship and leave. The double standards and hypocrisy of the left is simply mind numbing. Our constitution is fine the way it is, leave it alone and don't cherry pick it.

About one in five city residents are living in poverty, a figure that jumps to more than 26 per cent for children under age 18, giving Toronto the shameful title of baby poverty capital of Canada.
A household is considered to be living in poverty if their annual income is below Statistics Canada’s low-income measure, after taxes, which in Toronto in 2015 was $18,213 for a single person, $31,301 for a single parent with one baby and $44,266 for a couple with two children.
