‘The depths of the despair’: CBC Cape Breton explores poverty in Northside communities
Anti-poverty advocate Dorothy Halliday says poverty has reached a crisis state in two of Cape Breton’s Northside communities, and people need to mobilize against it in the same way they would respond to a natural disaster.
“The depths of the despair, that’s what I’ve seen really change in the last couple of years. That’s a hell of a lot harder to get out of,” she told CBC’s Information Morning Cape Breton.
