The fundamental story of literacy in Canada remains the same as it was five years ago: significant numbers of adult Canadians have low-level literacy skills that constrain their participation in society and in the economy.

At least, as they write, the literacy rate isn't declining as was predicted.  Sad though, that 50% of Canadians are in the lowest reading comprehension and literacy levels that they've classified.

Never give a match up halfway through. Never say that you do not feel up to it, that your condition is bad, and throw in the towel. Fight to the very end, always looking for your chance to break through.
