## Resource

Saskatchewan’s poverty report card just dropped—and it’s a D-plus, despite boasting the nation’s lowest unemployment rate. Over 20% of kids are still living in poverty, exposing a stark gap between jobs and real economic security. Food Banks Canada warns current social assistance simply can’t keep up with rising costs, while the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives says the lack of a coherent anti-poverty strategy is the real problem. With the economy looking strong on paper, the reality is that too many families—especially children—are being left behind. It’s not just a numbers game; it’s a call to action for real, systemic change. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
