A diverse group of politicians gathered on Valentines Day to discuss ways to end poverty. Deborah Gyapong of CCN reports:

The Dignity for All Campaign brought Canadians from diverse perspectives together Feb. 14 to focus on solutions to poverty in Canada.

“Poverty has been a persistent issue in Canada, and in light of our recession, our current economic uncertainty, and rising inequality, it remains an issue of great importance,” Canada Without Poverty (CWP) executive director Rob Rainer told about 200 people who gathered for the event.
