It actually baffles me. Canada has way worse social security nets than Germany and France, way less worker rights, way worse healthcare, way less affordable housing, but stronger economy

I guess Canada's economy is just that much better and developed the trickle down is enough to make up the difference?

Could also just be that Canada doesn't count as thoroughly, so more people fall through the cracks without anybody knowing. If you don't count then you don't have a problem. *taps head*

I imagine that plays a part. I certainly don't remotely trust our government's statistics here...

If I were to guess, unhoused people in Canada probably have a more difficult time living through the winter than in Germany and France. Well, maybe except for the warmer Pacific coast parts.

yeah that's a good point
