Shame on canada for having workers depend on frigging charity while we are working so dame hard and still cant make ends meet.

There was a time when I as a single Mom could barely feed my 2 kids. I did not smoke, drink, do drugs or go out partying. I bought my kids second hand clothes and my dishes, furniture etc either came from the dollar store or second hand store. We had a food bank near the house and when I would drive by it people smoked outside, arrived in expensive vehicles and were better dressed than we were. I drove an old beater of a car. I am not against helping people but I notice smokers don't complain about the price of cigarettes.

I'm on disability benefits in Québec Canada. There's only 1 food bank in the city I live in and because I receive $1400 per month, my rent is $600 and phone is $35 per month, I can't use the food bank at all. This food bank determines your access to it by how much you make and what your expenses are. In Ottawa Ontario, I was making the same amount but my expenses were about $200 or so for rent for me and my girlfriend at the time. I still had access to the food bank in that city. That was before 2016. The policies are probably different today. What's worse is that I saw people who owned BMW's going to the food bank in my current city.

Even after all this massive spending of billions of dollars in this country you still have situations like this country. Unfortunately for Canada the standard of living is declining and more and more individuals are going to find themselves in this predicament. The collapse of the Canadian dollar is not helping either. Imported goods are becoming more expensive, especially from the US. Inflation and the ever-increasing cost of living are driving more more people to the food banks.
