kEiTHZ, I spend ~40-45% of my net income on rent and would find it hard to believe that anyone would find me to be living any sort of definition of "poor". So, I'm not exactly sure of that yardstick.
Your argument is with StatsCan and CMHC. Not me. They consider you poor.
The definition does make sense. Quality of life is largely determined by disposable income. If a huge proportion of your family income is spent on food and shelter, you are poor. Working poor.
