As Canadians grapple with astronomical grocery prices, troublingly high numbers of people are flocking to food banks to feed their families. Last March alone, two million Canadians visited food banks—a staggering 90 per cent increase from 2019—and the most recent figures estimate that 12,000 new users access them every month. Food banks aren’t just frequented by unhoused and precariously employed folks anymore, either: now, one in five users has a steady job.
It’s a dishonest article failing to even mention the demand created by Trudeau’s mass immigration scam.

Data also indicated that 4 in 5 of the new users are people who have called Canada home for five years or less and usage by refugee claimants also doubled to 12 per cent over the previous year, both of which, the report notes, align with permanent and temporary international migration fuelling 97.6 per cent of Canada’s population growth in 2023.
Last month, Food Banks Canada’s latest Hunger Count revealed that 32 per cent of clients to food banks across the country are people who’ve been in the country for less than 10 years.
