What does a modest, basic standard of living look like in your community?

Canada adopted the Market Basket Measure (MBM) as its Official Poverty Line in June 2019. The MBM reflects the combined costs of a basket of goods and services a family needs to meet a modest, basic standard of living. Each year, basket costs are adjusted to account for inflation, and every five years, the MBM basket undergoes a complete review and update.

To ensure poverty continues to be accurately measured in your community, you can provide your input on what this “modest, basic standard of living” looks like in your community via our short, anonymous questionnaire. Please participate—your opinion is important to us!


Le Canada a adopté la mesure fondée sur un panier de consommation (MPC) comme seuil officiel de la pauvreté en juin 2019. La MPC tient compte des coûts combinés d’un panier de biens et de services dont une famille a besoin pour atteindre un niveau de vie de base modeste. Chaque année, les coûts du panier sont ajustés pour tenir compte de l’inflation, et tous les cinq ans, le panier de la MPC fait l’objet d’un examen approfondi et d’une mise à jour.

Pour faire en sorte que la pauvreté continue d’être mesurée avec précision dans votre communauté, veuillez nous faire part de vos commentaires sur ce qu’est un « niveau de vie de base modeste » dans votre communauté en répondant à notre court questionnaire anonyme. Merci d’y participer — votre opinion est importante pour nous!

Personally, I'd like a solution to have more cash accounts, and especially joint ones and maybe kids accounts.

A real interact debit card would also be great, but that I can more easily deal with.

There are quite a few competitors in retail banking, like EQ Bank, Alterna Bank, motus, ....

But none of them have achieved a critical size IMO, especially when compared to WS.
