We continue the interview walking down Queen St West and pop into a local record shop.
LL: I noticed you’re wearing a poverty wrist band..
PT: Yes, I do support makepovertyhistory.ca. I’d like to donate bands to some of the 1 million Canadian children, or nearly one in six, are still poor. It even affects the future generation of e-dating because it will give them confidence with affordable housing, having a decent job, and higher minimum wage.
A quarter of a million Canadians have joined but maybe more need a reminder because we can’t have global and national benefit concerts all the time. It doesn’t have to be this way, and I’m urging my readers to vote or even take action! If we choose - if we have the will to act - we can make poverty history. The internet has become a great asset for Canada because of how spread out our population and it will force our politicians to listen.
PT: I’m also happy at the success of slumdog millionaire because Danny Boyle makes such visually and thought provoking films..
