The biggest single issue that would reduce poverty , is to increase the social assistance housing allowance . Right now , it ' s $ 300 a month if you ' re boarding with someone , or up to $ 535 a month if you ' re living on your own . The $ 535 amount is simply inadequate , when a simple one bedroom apartment with utilities included is around the $ 650 range . Provincial politicians have talked for yearsdecades about reducing poverty . but this is the one change none of them want to adopt because it is a political football . <| sep |> Woops , thanks for pointing this out . I edited the post . <| sep |> You put the s there but you don ' t really need it <| sep |> Not sure , but I don ' t think so <| sep |> I plan to play it , just have limited time and honestly for a bit a decline in interest of playing games for a bit . But all is good now , probably will play it next , now that I think of it .
