Abstract:	In Canada, as well as around the world, people are given the impression that Canada is the best place in the world to live. This might be true if you are wealthy, but if you are one of the growing numbers of people living in poverty in this country you might have a different take on this statement. The global community is also given the impression that Canadian governments believe in and fight diligently to enhance and protect basic human rights. Impressions are similar to assumptions. Both look good from the outside and appear to be believable, but when you dig deeper into the reality of the above statements you find out that neither are true. This article will give a historical picture of Canada’s initiatives to address poverty and human rights during and since the Great Depression.
