Provinces won’t let them
I can't wait to hear the details about Pierre Poilievre's common sense way to tackle this.
He's going to tell us all the details, right?
Step 1. Vote for me
Step 2. Tax cuts for corporations
Step 3. Profit! (for the corporations)
If we get a Con government like it's looking we could, then expect this to get much, much worse.
Good luck everyone.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Food insecurity and poverty are worsening across Canada, according to a new report that says governments in the country are not adequately responding to the crisis.
These are families, these are kids who go to school without anything in their lunchboxes,” said Kristin Beardsley, chief executive officer of Food Banks Canada, in an interview.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and his party frequently make reference to Canadians’ growing use of food banks as part of their attacks on the Liberal minority government.
Mr. Poilievre raised the report’s findings during Wednesday’s Question Period: “After nine years of the NDP-Liberal Prime Minister’s taxes, debt, inflation and promises, Canadians are hungry.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his government is investing in supporting Canadians in need through initiatives such as a national school food program.
Ms. Beardsley said existing projects to combat food insecurity and reduce poverty are “great” but do not do enough to alleviate financial pressures on Canadians in the short term: “We need to make sure people who are not able to afford their lives today have some relief.”
