It actually baffles me. Canada has way worse social security nets than Germany and France, way less worker rights, way worse healthcare, way less affordable housing, but stronger economy
I guess Canada's economy is just that much better and developed the trickle down is enough to make up the difference?
Could also just be that Canada doesn't count as thoroughly, so more people fall through the cracks without anybody knowing. If you don't count then you don't have a problem. *taps head*
If I were to guess, unhoused people in Canada probably have a more difficult time living through the winter than in Germany and France. Well, maybe except for the warmer Pacific coast parts.
Wow Germany and France doing way worse than I expected and Canada a lot better than I expected
As a Canadian I was surprised as well. I guess it shows just how far things can keep sliding here while people just accept it.

yeah that's a good point
I imagine that plays a part. I certainly don't remotely trust our government's statistics here...
