The war at home : an intimate portrait of Canada's poor / Pat Capponi.

While Canadians like to criticize the gap between the haves and have-nots in the U.S., this recent study suggests that Canada may very well be home to one of the most disturbing disparities in living standards in the Western world. The author tours cities across the country talking with poor and homeless people, and discussing what led them to their current situation and what the system has or has not done to help them.
