The article is an overview of a recent statistics Canada report which details an increase in the gap between the rich and the poor. They attribute this difference to a rise in the value of property.

From the article: "Statistics Canada said the median net worth of the poorest group has stagnated over the past two decades. "The value of their assets never exceeded the value of their debts during the 1984 to 2005 period," the agency said."
