CBC Hamilton first spoke to David Galvin in 2012 after the release of a report that said 30,000 working Hamiltonians were still living in poverty. Like a growing number of Canadians, the 65-year-old from Hamilton says he has fallen behind — and that's a challenge, experts say, to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's approach to fiscal policy. 'All you have to do is walk around downtown Hamilton to see what the effects of poverty and low-income work are.' "I was unable to get meaningful middle-class work again and ended up doing a lot of contract and short-term work," said Galvin. Housing isn't an issue for Galvin but, as far as he's concerned, more help for low-income Canadians can't come soon enough.
