Preface
The structure of Canada’s social welfare system continues to shift. Determined
to “provincialize” social welfare, the federal government has relinquished many
social welfare programs and services. Any plans to create national strategies
related to child care, home support, poverty, or homelessness have been put to
rest. The Social Union Framework Agreement—with its emphasis on federal and
regional collaboration in social welfare development—is virtually dead. Even
federal funding for social welfare initiatives is at issue: in their quest for more
“innovative” ways of funding social welfare programs, the federal government is
calling upon business to finance programs that offer a social benefit.
As the federal and regional governments clarify their roles in social welfare
provision, many Canadians face ongoing challenges. The number of homeless
and food-insecure Canadians continues to rise. Unemployed adults have fewer
options and resources, and more working Canadians find themselves stuck in
poor paying, insecure jobs with few or no benefits. Reports confirm that income
inequality is on the rise while the standard of living is declining. As always, social
agencies are struggling to meet the growing demand for social services.
But there is also good news. For example, most provinces and territo-
ries have developed comprehensive poverty-reduction plans, and Canada’s
ratification of the UN’s Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
ensures the full inclusion of Canadians with disabilities. The body of knowl-
edge on social welfare issues and best practices keeps growing, while the
launch of large-scale longitudinal studies promises new insights into the needs
of specific populations. This fifth edition of Social Welfare in Canadian Society
takes a critical look at these and other developments and their influence on
the social well-being of Canadians.

Organization
This edition retains the basic three-part structure of previous editions. Part 1
introduces readers to some of the fundamental aspects of Canada’s social
welfare system, including the nature of its programs and services and the
social policy development process. Chapters in this section also focus on the
ideological base and historical foundations of the social welfare system, and
political and economic trends that affect social provision.
Part 2 is devoted to social welfare’s service delivery system. Here, readers
learn about the various service sectors and the principal activities of social
agencies. This section also looks at the range of service providers in social
welfare settings and the knowledge and skills they bring to the helping
process. Concluding Part 2 is a chapter on planned change at the micro,
mezzo, and macro levels of society.
Part 3 examines the social issues and achievements of selected populations:
people living in poverty, families with children, seniors, Aboriginal peoples,
recent immigrants, and people with disabilities. This section explores the social
welfare programs and social work approaches related to each population.
Readers will be interested in the themes that weave through this new
edition and reflect the major trends in Canada’s social welfare system. For
example, this edition emphasizes the role of empirical research and best practices
in the development of social welfare theory and initiatives. A main theme
is the influence of neoliberalism, globalization, and the business model on
social welfare provision. This edition also sharpens its focus on issues related
to poverty, income inequality, an aging population, and Aboriginal peoples
in Canada. In terms of social work practice, more attention is given to anti-
oppressive approaches.
Chapters that have undergone significant revisions include Chapter 4, which
examines the effects of conservatism on social welfare policy and programs. A
new Chapter 9 provides current material on poverty and its consequences, and

ARCTIC ANGELS
Howls floated out on the thin Arctic air, filling rock-walled Kannequoq
Inlet with dirge-like notes. A dozen gaunt huskies padded to and fro
near the red boulders to which they were tied; they eyed one another
in murderous speculation, straining uselessly at the tethering sticks
fastened to their shaggy necks.
Occasionally one of the animals halted its ceaseless trotting,
squatted and, elevating a long wolf snout, sent out another wail to
echo and re-echo back from the granite cliffs.
“Rotten! Rotten! Rotten!” Sergeant Richard Cleaver muttered to
himself, striding up and down the narrow confines of the Mounted
Police detachment building. “That brute Scarth is torturing those
dogs just for pure devilment; can’t be any other reason that I can
see. For five cents I’d go down there and shoot up the whole works.”
Peering through one of the little windows, he gazed down at the
trader’s roof, set on a lower rock ledge, and then at the whimpering
blurs beyond. A moon faced halfbreed, lounging in the post doorway,
glanced up at the huskies and spat contemptuously. Apparently the
man saw something humorous in the situation. Yellow teeth showed
momentarily when the native tore off another mouthful of tobacco
from a black plug.
Thin columns of smoke continued to well up undisturbed from the
huddle of skin tupiks, sheltering beneath the cliffs from the ever
present winds. But beyond the curling smoke there was no
movement; none of the Eskimo inhabitants took any notice of the
starving animals’ plea for food.
With a curse, the sergeant swung away from the window to glare
at Constable Timothy Noonan’s thick frame stretched on his bunk.
“Helluva lot you care, you fat lobster!” Cleaver threw out at the
slumbering man’s round, freckled face. “You don’t give a hoot about
the prestige of the service, do you? Said you’d never make a dog
man, and that goes! Blah!”
An angelic smile stole across the sleeper’s features. He rolled
over lazily, grunting his contentment. Sergeant Cleaver snorted and
stamped out of the cabin, crashing the door behind him.
“Ain’t no way for a buck to talk to his superior, but that was a damn’
fool play,” Constable Noonan offered from his perch on the bunk.
“You got us in dutch, Sergeant dear. We’ll never be able to handle
the Esks again if we falls down on this job, an’ I got a hunch that’s
what Mr. Scarth is after. Suit his tradin’ fine if the natives go wild an’
woolly. I ain’t no Sherlock Holmes, but if this ain’t a plant I’m a
Hindoo philosopher.”
“Oh, shut up!” Cleaver put in irritably. “I’ve got enough on my
hands without scrapping with you. We’re going out in the skin boat in
the morning, ice or no ice, and we’re going to bring back a walrus.
I’ve given the king’s word for that. It’s getting dark. Any intention of
feeding the dogs tonight?”
“Thought you said I weren’t no dog man—”
“You’ve got enough brains to feed them some tallow, at any rate,”
the sergeant cut in on him. “Go out, Timothy Noonan, or I’ll throw you
out!”
Constable Noonan dodged about the heater, grabbed his parka
off a peg and slid through the door. Once outside he listened for a
moment to the ice pans’ tinkling and the mournful wailing of Scarth’s
huskies. Then with an expressive shoulder shrug, Noonan made his
way up to the little storehouse.
The key grated in the lock, and with that well known sound eager
whines burst from the dogs penned in the corral. Scarth’s starving
brutes heard those expectant whimpers and filled the night air with
agonized howling.
It was a good three hours later when Noonan pushed in the door
of the detachment building and grinned over at his chief. Cleaver
was stretched on his bunk, khaki shirted, body bathed in yellow
lamplight, and deep in “Soldiers Three”. The sergeant threw the book
down and glared at the rubicund face.
“Look here, you nighthawk,” he called. “Haven’t you got any
savvy at all? You stay away from that girl, or I’ll—”
“Nix on the gentle sentiment tonight,” the constable broke in.
“Love’s off; murder’s on. Been prowlin’. We won’t possess any skin
boat in the mornin’; the Esks will have it that the great white king ain’t
the caribou’s chin whiskers no longer, an’ Scarth will be known as
the very strong man from here to Hoboken.”
“What’s the matter with you?” Cleaver boomed, jerking bolt
upright. “Scarth wouldn’t dare break up that boat; not after that three
months I got him for monkeying with our schooner last year.”
“Oh, you’d be surprised!” Noonan mocked his superior. “There’s
more ways of killin’ a polar bear than choking it with chocolate
eclairs. Climb into your parka an’ mukluks an’ we’ll take in the movie.
It’s a real fifty cent show. Come on.”
Scarth tugged the lines off the dogs he was leading, kicking one of
the starving brutes toward the walrus hide covering the oomiak. But
instead of rushing forward and tearing at the skin the dog squatted
on the shingle, staring up at its master. Three more of the released
huskies lay down and curled up for immediate sleep. Some of the
others commenced to wander along the beach. None of the animals
took the least notice of the skin boat.
Scarth’s rumbled cursing and the halfbreed’s clucking sounded
dimly in the sergeant’s ears as he rolled over to stare in amazement
at the bursting Noonan.
“Oh, my fat sides,” Tim groaned. “Seventeen dried fish, eleven
tins of bully beef, five lumps of tallow, an’ a chunk of pemmican as
big as a battleship. An’ they polished off the whole works. An’ now
Scarth’s offerin’ ’em a dried up old walrus skin for dessert. A dog’s
life, that’s what it is.”
Sudden realization stabbed Cleaver’s mind. Tim had sneaked out
and fed Scarth’s starving huskies so that they would not attack the
skin boat!
“Listen,” Noonan’s voice came again. “Yesterday a big floe
grounded beyond the point. There was a walrus on it as big as the
side of a house. Uluk shot it. Get the idea? With the skin boat gone
we couldn’t pull the Arctic angel stuff, and when we fell down on the
job Scarth would lug in his walrus an’ get the glad hand from the
Esks. Cripes, you’re in a hurry, eh?”
Cleaver had vaulted from the icy ground with a catlike leap. As
Noonan lumbered to his feet he heard Scarth’s surprised cry and the
halfbreed’s yelp of dismay.
The trader threw himself face down on the beach when the white
faced sergeant raced across the slippery shingle. A single lunge
brought Scarth to his feet.
Then sounded the slithering of Noonan’s mukluks on the shingle
as the little man raced after the grunting halfbreed.
“I take it all back about the dogs, Timsy,” Cleaver yelled at the
flying figure. “Damn it, I’ll recommend you for corporal’s stripes for
this!”
“Keep ’em!” Noonan’s voice panted. “I’m the detective sergeant of
this man’s army, an’ that’s good enough for me. All right, you blubber
chewer, try a taste of that!”
Whug! Whug!
Cleaver laughed softly, turning back to the squirming Scarth.
“Look here, you insignificant fragment of decayed whale meat,”
he growled at the trader. “You’re too small to pound, but I have
something nice in store for you. It’ll be daylight in an hour. You and
the breed will cut up that walrus and bring it down here. Then you’ll
keep on making soup for the Esks until they’re well again. On top of
that you’re going to wash all their clothes and clean up the tupiks.
That’s slow motion death, if you ask me. Not a word, you rat. Move!”
As he shoved Scarth forward, Cleaver saw his comrade come
upright and fan himself vigorously. Surrounding him were four of the
satiated huskies. They sniffed gratefully at Noonan’s legs.
