To our Canada Without Poverty team, colleagues in the Dignity for All 
Campaign, and a select number of others:
 Canadian Scholars Press has just released the second edition of Poverty 
in Canada: Implications for Health and Quality of Life, by York 
University?s Dennis Raphael.  I was honoured and pleased to write the 
foreword to this edition, following the original by Jack Layton in August 
2006 which is included as well in the second edition (and how 
appropriately given his passing and mounting legacy).  As I began the 
foreword (an excerpt of which is here), this is ?the single most valuable 
reference on poverty in Canada,? with sweeping coverage of the issue 
including some of the most current and important data as well as key 
analyses and insights.  I thus encourage you to try and get hold of a 
copy.  The price is $69.95: Canada Without Poverty will seek support with 
which to hopefully purchase a good number of copies at a reduced rate, and 
make them available to those for whom the price would be out of reach.  If 
anyone has any leads as to sources of support for this purpose, please let 
me know
 On behalf of Canada Without Poverty I?d like to congratulate Dennis 
Raphael for realizing the completion and publication of the second 
edition.  We collectively need to leverage upon this publication: it 
presents in one volume a compelling case for making poverty, as I wrote in 
the foreword, a top five public policy priority for governments in Canada 
? with the same if not greater determination for action
 Best regards

 The truth is that our country ? the ninth richest in the world ? is so 
wealthy that it manages to mask the reality of poverty, social exclusion, 
discrimination, employment erosion, mental health and youth suicides.  In 
doing so, we hide the fact of a very serious national public health 
problem.
