Hi all,

I am not sure if I missed people talking about the Health Canada report
released this week, but something in one of the background papers leapt out
at me.

What does "anecdotal evidence to suggest" mean?

In 1996, many Canadians faced housing affordability
                               problems. At this time, some 58% of
lone-parent families                                   and 59% of older
Canadians living in one-person                                   households
were spending more than 30% of their income
                                  on housing. There is anecdotal evidence
to suggest that an                                   increasing number of
Canadians are homeless, including
                                  families with children, Aboriginal
people, adolescents and                                   people with
mental illness.
