The Liberals also cite Statistics Canada figures showing that the number of Canadians living below the official poverty line has dropped from 12% when they came into power in 2015, to an all-time low of 8.7% in 2018, the last year for which figures are available.
Sarlo describes Liberal boasting about lifting a million Canadians out of poverty as “superficial and cringe-worthy” because many of the people they say they’re lifting out of poverty wouldn’t have been classified as being in poverty, until they changed the way they calculated the poverty line.
