We spoke with our guest for Episode 8, Mr. Tim Blades of Halifax, via telephone. Mr. Blades is a recipient of Social Assistance so provides us with valuable First Voice experience of living in poverty in Canada.
Mr. Blades is a Poverty Activist and as co-chair of the Child Support Clawback Action Group (CSCAG), worked tirelessly on the issue of the child support claw in Nova Scotia at the time of the airing of this show. Three months after speaking with him, Mr. Blades happily reported back to 1 in 7 that the CSCAG met with success and as of August 2018 the clawback will be a thing of the past in Nova Scotia!
Mr. Blades is also a member of the Benefits Reform Action Group (BRAG).
