Moment of Silence

The audience gives a moment of silence before the start of the Poverty Olympics.

In 2002, the provincial government cut welfare rates and introduced barriers that kept people in need from getting help. Homelessness has more than doubled since then, and B.C. has more people living below the poverty line than any other province in Canada.

The Dominion is a monthly paper published by an incipient network of independent journalists in Canada. It aims to provide accurate, critical coverage that is accountable to its readers and the subjects it tackles. Taking its name from Canada's official status as both a colony and a colonial force, the Dominion examines politics, culture and daily life with a view to understanding the exercise of power.
