Why does it feel like everything is collapsing?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCanada is at a crossroad. Neoliberalism has hollowed out and sold off the social services Canadians rely on now more than ever, and has brought into stark relief the dissonance among colonial, Indigenous, and some of Canada's most at-risk groups.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Social Safety Net\u003c\/i\u003e tracks the forty-year attack on Canada's social safety net. As neoliberalism has matured in Canada, Canadians are seeing the impact of these attacks: unreliable health services, crises in education and social services, and a society that feels like it is losing cohesion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first volume in a series by activist, author, and journalist Nora Loreto, the Canada in Decline series is the story of Canada's untenable status quo and the forces that have led us to where we are today.
