Food banks don't work anymore because in the past they were used as a last resort and a stop gap. A person would do all they could before going to one. Because the attitude is nonexistent among the new migrants the system is overwhelmed.
I remember when a food bank was flooded with foreign students. Also, I wonder how many Canadians can afford to study in other countries. I'm sure there aren't many.

Exactly. The insanely high increases in the cost of housing, food, utilities, gas, insurance, is happening everywhere - Canada, America, UK, Australia etc.
Our immigration policy causes our population to explode at a rate of half million every year. This alone causes a shortage of everything, including housings, jobs, food, income and so on. Also our salary or wage is not growing enough to keep up with inflation due to cheaper labour influx from tons of new immigrants every year. Our immigration policy only help greedy rich business rather than average citizens. We should change our immigration policy. Otherwise Canada will turn into a disaster.
Lots of international students go there. I stopped donating. If you come abroad as a student you know how much money you have to pay. Don't abuse the system. So dishonest.
Food banks aren’t for any international students at all, as they agreed to bring enough funds beforehand to cover all their expenses during their temporary stay, including food.
Whoops, you misspelled "Capitalism." Capitalism is the socially, economically and ecologically unsustainable system that creates all the problems of inequality, violence and corruption. Bad politicians like neoLib Trudeau and PP and the Cons are just symptoms.
Jeez i wonder why... Enough is enough, send all the refugees, immigrants, and international students home. Enough is enough, nothing in this city is affordable, housing is impossible, healthcare is a joke and all the roads are complete grid lock 20 hours a day. Canada is dieing yet the government completely avoids doing the one thing that will actually help. Its a joke
You think born and raised young Canadians want to birth children in the most brutal years of Late Stage Capitalism and the outcomes of massive inequality, private corporation profiteering, privatization of basic needs like housing, healthcare and education, and no future because fossil fuel industry is still milking out as much market dominance and profit as they can in their sun setting industry? No, not a very bright future for born and raised Canadians. Unless enough Canadians get on board with a system change away from toxic capitalism towards a well-being steady-state economy based on worker co-operatives, mutual aid networks, sharing and repairing, and rebuilding the commons, Canada will continue to see declines in living quality, just like nearly every other country on Earth. Do you really want humans to go down in history as the only species not to save itself because it wasn't 'cost-effective'?
It started with the introduction of neoliberal economics in the late 1970’s. The era of Reagan, Thatcher, Mulroney etc. Documentary: Requiem for the American (Canadian) Dream on UA-cam.
Something seriously needs to be done about this food crisis because if the Food Bank collapses it will be a horrible disaster for low income housholds.
Want to do something seriously? Help change the system, start locally, away from bloody capitalism. Try One Small Town initiative, based on Ubuntu Contributionism. Free and voluntary to join, and certainly free and voluntary to read up on. What have you got to lose? Already life is getting crazy unaffordable. Capitalism is in a death grip, but we can change it if we unite along common goals to end the oppressive system once and for all, step by step, town by town.
Today it was announced that it will now be even easier to get canadian citiizenship which will add to our unsustainable growth. The food banks, the housing market and health care are all gonna collapse sooner than later.
I mean, I think this policy is aimed at allowing the children of original Canadians to return here if they were born to expats outside the country. It actually lets European Canadians back in. But of course, it's badly put together and will have the wrong effect.
@@Roof_Pizza Our once great country being flooded with illegal aliens is a Provincial matter ?? Gee learn something new every day. Why do we have a Federal government again ?
It's gonna sound racist, but neither Canada or it's universities are doing enough to make sure that international students have the the ability to sustain themselves while they are here, before they're enrolled. That's adding extra strain to systems which have already been stretched thin for at least a couple of decades. My sister went to work overseas a few years ago, and she had to prove that she'd be able to support herself while in country, in order to be granted a work visa.
Inflation erased my charitable donations...Also i used to donate so a struggling Canadian family could eat. I'm not going to donate to feed international students that are just making the problem worse.
When my donations to Food Bank are used by non- citizens , and items run out for vulnerable Canadians; then I will stop donating until there's a constructive action place by officials responsible for distribution of items
Canada needs to start handing out free bags of wheat. In india, the government provides free grains to the needy. Since we are now a developing country we should start doing the same.
@@nadinehope230 Maybe India doesn't have lots of non-citizens to worry about. Because their population can grow itself by having sex. Canadians seem to have forgotten how.

You know what would solve this problem, more international students, more inflation, less wage increases and less housing 🥰 looks like we're already getting an A+ on all these
Throw in 3 or more million immigrants soon to be followed by their families during an existing cost of living and housing crisis. Although in my community which has a min. 5 year waiting list for affordable housing the thousands of recent immigrants are being housed and/or buying most homes on the market thus keeping availability almost non-existent and the prices high. A Canadian success story.
Before Justin Trudeau, this wasn't a thing. It's now more of a "thing" than ever. Growing up I used to hear stories about Bob Rae and quickly learned that he was the poster boy for inept politicians. Well I grew up, watched Mr. Rae join the Liberals, and I now know for sure that I'm witnessing the most inept & careless government possible.
Last time i went to a Food back i barely saw any Canadians there it was mostly Justin's illegals queuing up and students who came there with 40 k in the bank and think food banks are some kind of bucket challenge
Poverty was cut in half by the Trudeau government, in terms of the number of Canadians living in poverty, under the Harper government. You would do well to actually do some reading. Assuming you can read.
I am on disability. Given my $13,000 annual (Poverty line is $19,930 so I am $6030 below that modest level) income annually I have no choice but to use the food bank. I am paying 75% of my disability to rent my apartment, access transit and pay for my cell phone which is considered a necessity by my disability worker. Still, there is no additional funding for it. I had to pay an extra $100 for a medical test not covered by OHIP last week. I have been using food banks continuously for 15 years. I only buy deeply marked-down products at the grocery store.
NO body unless your a Canadian citizen should be allowed anywhere near a food bank! These banks are for Canadians only donated by Canadians. This country is just pathetic!
Yep. "Tax the rich, feed the poor, till there are no rich no more." And this isn't sarcasm, I truly believe that if you're making more than a million a year, say, you should be heavily taxed. At those kinds of numbers you didn't "work hard" you exploited others. Especially, especially if you're raking in tens of millions, or billions a year.
This is what happens when every avenue of investing and / or earning money is taxed to the point where nothing remains beyond the absolute basics for the average Canadian. We are taxed on what we bring in, what we spend, and even any extra that might be earned on investments seems to be targeted by our government, which in turn, grows the government ever bigger with more and more make work projects that we cannot afford. Our government is greedy and we are not getting value for our money.
Was fine before they let in 500,000 + immigrants a year. The working poor having to access food banks is another national disgrace. Canadians simply do not want to pay to feed their replacements.
I used to donate but now I have to save money for gas to get to work.
That sucks.
But it's decent of you to donate when you could.
Hopefully you'll be in a better position aoon
not only you me too.

We had over 40,000 new citizens last year in my city. We also had the lowest birth rate in two decades. It’s clear where all the food is going.
You think born and raised young Canadians want to birth children in the most brutal years of Late Stage Capitalism and the outcomes of massive inequality, private corporation profiteering, privatization of basic needs like housing, healthcare and education, and no future because fossil fuel industry is still milking out as much market dominance and profit as they can in their sun setting industry? No, not a very bright future for born and raised Canadians.
Unless enough Canadians get on board with a system change away from toxic capitalism towards a well-being steady-state economy based on worker co-operatives, mutual aid networks, sharing and repairing, and rebuilding the commons, Canada will continue to see declines in living quality, just like nearly every other country on Earth.
Do you really want humans to go down in history as the only species not to save itself because it wasn't 'cost-effective'?
I am disgraced to be a part of this disgusting country. What an 8 years for my once beloved Canada.
FJT destroyer of Canada
Yes, he did, quite enthusiastically and with a putrid smile on his face.
It started with the introduction of neoliberal economics in the late 1970’s. The era of Reagan, Thatcher, Mulroney etc. Documentary: Requiem for the American (Canadian) Dream on UA-cam.
Capitalism is the crisis. Completely unsustainable. Bad politicians are just another symptom, like food insecurity and skyrocketing housing prices.
Yawn... taking lessons from your cousins to the south, and this is the best you can come up with?
Food banks should be for poor canadians, not freaking international students from india
Agreed. International students can make their own food banks with so many of them around.
Then stop feeding foreign students.
Something seriously needs to be done about this food crisis because if the Food Bank collapses it will be a horrible disaster for low income housholds.
Want to do something seriously? Help change the system, start locally, away from bloody capitalism. Try One Small Town initiative, based on Ubuntu Contributionism. Free and voluntary to join, and certainly free and voluntary to read up on. What have you got to lose? Already life is getting crazy unaffordable. Capitalism is in a death grip, but we can change it if we unite along common goals to end the oppressive system once and for all, step by step, town by town.
@@coolioso808
But not free to depart from once that initiative proves inefficient and/or repressive.
But meanwhile we feed the rest of the world but not our own citizens.

Today it was announced that it will now be even easier to get canadian citiizenship which will add to our unsustainable growth. The food banks, the housing market and health care are all gonna collapse sooner than later.
I mean, I think this policy is aimed at allowing the children of original Canadians to return here if they were born to expats outside the country. It actually lets European Canadians back in. But of course, it's badly put together and will have the wrong effect.
Thank liberal and NDP voters this is the Canada they want
None of the major parties will fix any of this. We need a revamp of the entire political system.

great, one les thing to worry about ! :-)
It's gonna sound racist, but neither Canada or it's universities are doing enough to make sure that international students have the the ability to sustain themselves while they are here, before they're enrolled. That's adding extra strain to systems which have already been stretched thin for at least a couple of decades.
My sister went to work overseas a few years ago, and she had to prove that she'd be able to support herself while in country, in order to be granted a work visa.
International students have the numbers to create their own food bank, or the universities create one.
Inflation erased my charitable donations...Also i used to donate so a struggling Canadian family could eat. I'm not going to donate to feed international students that are just making the problem worse.
When my donations to Food Bank are used by non- citizens , and items run out for vulnerable Canadians; then I will stop donating until there's a constructive action place by officials responsible for distribution of items
Fair enough. International students can create their own food banks ( they have the numbers).
Canada needs to start handing out free bags of wheat. In india, the government provides free grains to the needy.
Since we are now a developing country we should start doing the same.
I sure India is handing it out only to it citizens not non-citizens which are causing most of the problems in Canada.
@@nadinehope230 Go back to your country then.
Apparently they're not handing out enough wheat, because al the Indians are here taking our food.
Food is fine, prices are not
@@nadinehope230 Maybe India doesn't have lots of non-citizens to worry about. Because their population can grow itself by having sex. Canadians seem to have forgotten how.
He does everything for everyone that's not a Canadian citizen.
How can we all act like a corrupted government is normal?
It's normal because the citizenry that voted them into power is every bit as corrupted.
Pay taxes to bring new immigrants
Donate money to food banks so these immigrants from rich backgrounds could eat for FREE
Come on guys, don't be so selfish! Diversity is our STRENGTH!!!!
"INDIANVERSITY IS OUR STENCH."
"No system is designed for growth like we've seen"
If that isn't a succinct admission that excessive immigration is the problem, I don't know what is.
You know what would solve this problem, more international students, more inflation, less wage increases and less housing 🥰 looks like we're already getting an A+ on all these
Throw in 3 or more million immigrants soon to be followed by their families during an existing cost of living and housing crisis. Although in my community which has a min. 5 year waiting list for affordable housing the thousands of recent immigrants are being housed and/or buying most homes on the market thus keeping availability almost non-existent and the prices high. A Canadian success story.
i know it's you ... justin trudeau !
Before Justin Trudeau, this wasn't a thing. It's now more of a "thing" than ever. Growing up I used to hear stories about Bob Rae and quickly learned that he was the poster boy for inept politicians. Well I grew up, watched Mr. Rae join the Liberals, and I now know for sure that I'm witnessing the most inept & careless government possible.
Last time i went to a Food back
i barely saw any Canadians there
it was mostly Justin's illegals queuing up
and students who came there with 40 k in the bank and think food banks are some kind of bucket challenge

Poverty was cut in half by the Trudeau government, in terms of the number of Canadians living in poverty, under the Harper government. You would do well to actually do some reading. Assuming you can read.

One jerk international student was posting videos on how other international students could save money by abusing the food bank system.
it's because Trudeau, Freeland and Singh. Reduce taxes and stop printing money.
Wrong! It's because of extremely stupid, uneducated libs/ndp voters.

I am on disability. Given my $13,000 annual (Poverty line is $19,930 so I am $6030 below that modest level) income annually I have no choice but to use the food bank. I am paying 75% of my disability to rent my apartment, access transit and pay for my cell phone which is considered a necessity by my disability worker. Still, there is no additional funding for it. I had to pay an extra $100 for a medical test not covered by OHIP last week. I have been using food banks continuously for 15 years. I only buy deeply marked-down products at the grocery store.
lol international scammers be like: "I'm from a third world country, therefore taking food is justified!"

@@MelaniaRose and yet they not only use the Canadian one's, but also post about it to their fellow international students.
It’s like feeding birds, the more you hand out the more will show up.
NO body unless your a Canadian citizen should be allowed anywhere near a food bank! These banks are for Canadians only donated by Canadians. This country is just pathetic!

When I see who is lining up at the food bank I no longer donate.

Yep. "Tax the rich, feed the poor, till there are no rich no more."
And this isn't sarcasm, I truly believe that if you're making more than a million a year, say, you should be heavily taxed. At those kinds of numbers you didn't "work hard" you exploited others. Especially, especially if you're raking in tens of millions, or billions a year.

Feel bad this is happening in Canada, high tax and wealthy country
Canada should not be considered a wealthy country anymore.
This is what happens when every avenue of investing and / or earning money is taxed to the point where nothing remains beyond the absolute basics for the average Canadian. We are taxed on what we bring in, what we spend, and even any extra that might be earned on investments seems to be targeted by our government, which in turn, grows the government ever bigger with more and more make work projects that we cannot afford. Our government is greedy and we are not getting value for our money.
This is not news! As a matter of fact, we all know what's causing it and who's to blame.
Why buy It, when you can get IT for free! Stop giving It to criminals and drug addicts
Was fine before they let in 500,000 + immigrants a year. The working poor having to access food banks is another national disgrace. Canadians simply do not want to pay to feed their replacements.
1.3 million last year
Sorry but students should not have access to food banks.
The food bank never was helping those who were in real need . The top management was making a lot of money.
In Canada, the aboriginals have shown everyone how to depend on charity. You can drive a cadillac and go down to the food bank.
Do you reside in Canada?
