Millions of Canadians turn to food banks as cost of living soars 

With the exception of the upper class the entire country is getting slammed from every angle. Rent, utilities, food, etc. The cost of "living" is becoming unlivable in Canada.

Remember when Justin Trudeau said “Canada is back” in 2015. We’re still waiting.

Every single thing has gone up , rent , cost of borrowing, cost of food , car prices , insurance, home prices, mortgage costs , fuel etc. what has not gone up are the salaries so it is no surprise even salary earners are approaching food banks. Sadly there is no silver lining on the horizon to look forward to. This situation is here to stay.

I used to donate to my local food bank (Ottawa), but after seeing videos of people posting how to scam and get free food from the food bank I've stopped donating. It's sad because this ends up hurting the people that really need it.

Remember, castreau doesn't concern himself with financial matters.

Out politicians priority; Ukraine 1st Israel 1st Canada last

Freeland told me that there is nothing to worry about because Canada has the lowest debt to GDP. She wouldn’t lie to us would she?

Thank you Loblaws and Bank of Canada.

Don’t worry “the budget will balance itself” lol

Every week at Costco, I spend over $400, and I am not kidding. I don't buy junk or packaged food. I buy just the necessities. And it is killing me. Thank you to Trudeau who is spending our money on futile stuff.

Yea but everything is fine because Canada has a AAA credit rating, oh and Justin is there for us

Rising inflation and no wage increase = many Canadians will empty their savings account.

Im tired and exhausted. We NEED a new government ASAP!!!!

Justin keeps playing his fiddle, while Jagmeet dances to his tune. Meanwhile the country is crumbling around them. Jagmeet will go down in history as the worst ever betrayer of NDP voters and the poor.

This is the performance from our government that the NDP approves of

The only solution to this mess is if people start leaving the posy schemes that are our big cities (which are basically owned by corporate developers) and starting housing co-ops in rural areas where they can farm their own food.

The government needs to help Canadiens, stop worrying about other countries

This is very disturbing. We are a group of Filipino Canadians and always do gatherings and the topic of Trudeau and WEF has been very much discussed. In a worst case scenario, homelessness in a country with brutal weather is frightening. At least in the Philippines, nobody dies of being out in the elements. The prospect of a crash worst than 1929 is not that far. WEF has already communicated such. All past wars/ crashes, societal chaos were forms of RESET. The recent uptick in sudden bank closures, acquisitions are already telltale signs. Not to mention many cases of being locked out by banks.... Something is just not Normal.

I feel for people trying to their feed kids. The wealthy class will never get enough or give anything to others.

Can’t believe the comment section is open as the CBC doesn’t usually allow comments that reflect negatively on the current govt.

I know the war in Israel is terrible but it's become too much to listen to in the news and I've completely tuned out every video posted about it It's nice to see something that is Canadian focused I cannot do anything about the war but I can look at my community around me and find a way to help others here at home.

apples cost $1 each. thx, Justin

i have to use the food bank today i used a gift card i got the lady behind me is like are you have a party me no it’s what i can afford i’m just thankful to have food even paying rent is hard been on the housing wait list 16 years especially on disability everything keeps rising

should ban students from abusing food banks

There is always a line up at Starbucks. Line ups at the liquor store. Lotto tickets, casinos, weed, tabacco, home depot, movies, pet food, excessive phone and internet plans, eating out, tattoos, cosmetics, new phones, new cars, trips to mexico. Lots of room for people to cut back on discretionary spending. But we don't.

Trudeau to the poor: LET THEM EAT CAKE!!!

Apparently, Justin has outdone his step-father.

You will eat bugs and be happy - WEF

I am not happy to go to grocery shopping.

Justin knows this but it is like he just doesnt care

and people from the middle east on their way lol

People will still vote for Trudeau though, unbelievable

Thank you liberal & NDP voters. It’s all the same party now anyway.

Trudeau has to go

Thank you, Trudeau and friends.

Yeah nothing to do with out government for the last decade

We are fakd and its very sad!

Remember right now are the good times! in the next 10 years it's going to get way way way worse!

Well tell grocery stores to quit throwing the food out. People make dumpter diving videos about how much food is thrown out and they salvage it.

Thanks Trudeau, maybe more government and more taxes will help!

Didn't Trudeau once say "don't worry, the budget will balance itself" ??? So how is your budget?

Someone has to stop Trudeau. He Is Responsible.

Sunny ways, thank you LPC

Wow! I had to scroll down 5 videos before I could get to one when CBC comments weren't turn off. Such a great media channel. They will post stuff of magnificent but , don't say anything, we are the voice lol

Crisis, shortages and bottlenecks are "best case", scenarios for Industry, Trade and Commerce. Who really has the "Power", in this, or any other Country?

Lots of Indian students come here and start milking the system. Plenty of videos on RU-vid teaching others to do it.

We have stiff regulations for just about everything in Canada, except for what our citizens actually spend money on and need. Food and rent. I remember a stat this was around 2020, in order to have what is considered a healthy economy you'd have to freeze the cost of rent and housing for about 20-25 years, for wage inflation to catch up. Unless they change things in a drastic way we are basically on pace for a great depression where Canadians will be forced to leave the inflated rents of cities especially, and seek out smaller towns that offer affordable rent. And when the market dips most likely foreign investment will buy up those vacant and deflated assests.

Where is the conservative party getting all its money - $30M in campaign donations? Donations to food banks have declined dramatically. So how is it possible for a party to pretend it cares about affordability while knowing its supporters are rolling in doe? Where do these people get their money to just throw away on a party full of anti-vaccine, anti-mandate and freedom convoy supporters? The conservative party should donate half their campaign funds, at least $15M, to food banks if poilievre is truly concerned about affordability. Rents have increased exponentially and it is not because of PM Trudeau! The provinces haven't enforced rental control combined with an unregulated free market.

Well done Trudeau

Even student visa holders going to food bank

Food banks should stop accepting over-priced "luxury" items -- forcing a sensible increase of NN products thus, forcing the "greedy" to give way to the "needy". Sounds bad, but children don't need candy.

the inflated military budget for the war in Afghanistan never deflated

500k more immigrants per year will solve this problem

It’s game over folks. Beginning of the end. Get your faith back. He’s coming.

MILLIONS!!!!!!! Not a few unfortunates, MILLIONS.

I wonder when TruDOH! going to do a photo op packing food bags and handing them out like the sandbag debacle.

Imagine having to pay to live in a dogshit world

Cancel Disney + ...Problem solved!.

People aren't following the rich person's mentality. So whose fault is that?

Anyone remember the late 70s early 80s?

You can thank the big three grocery chains for a huge chunk of the inflation issues. The banks, landlords and credit card companies for much of the rest. Corporate greed is killing off the middle class.

(trust me I rather not try to cause any anxiety but do my best to speak from the heart.) The whole defund the public (if your not there yet) Rolling on, has been rolling for a while and things are only going to get more costly. So when its curtailed much of what we enjoyed will be gone, in hopes we are all desperate and ride in like a Rider on a white horse and benevolently offer social credit as an alternative To our beleagered and meager defeated lives, we all will have pull strength as a unified spirit and Pull it up we have a chance to start from the ground up and triumphantly Get the Canada back we all know and love its not gonna be easy I as like you a citizen of Canada will be in the muck too i can only hope we find the courage not to loose it on our fellow people and not enforce anything we did not want enforced upon ourselves. We are canadians together we can get stronger be the hard men and women That make easy times for all But do it 21st century style. Pull strength from deep down And if we help each other and get aligned. I dont want to hate on anything but injust and predetory exploits not my fellow canadians We can have abetter and properous futur with compitant leaders and government.

Hillary Johnstone has a ridiculous hairstyle

Thanks to Trudeau to and jagmeet 👍

Let’s go Justin

very ironic that cbc brings this up after being a big part of the problem by not being a impartial journalistic entity. by always propping up justine and not having canada's best interest at heart they have become part of the problem just as jagmeet has done. canadians will remember

I'm on ODSP in the province of Ontario I love I live off of $1,000 a month if it wasn't for my subsidized housing I'd really be in trouble but with the cost of gas to eat my apartment electricity and a cell phone and internet service which are essential I have less than $100 for food a month after all the bills are paid. I'm waiting for the federal government to finish the Canadian Disability supplement program but that won't be until late 2024 so I'll be going to a food bank at least till then

How about have a community box in every neighborhood ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤whoever wants to donate can, and whoever needs it can take from it❤❤❤❤

March 2023 video. Eight months ago

Most of them are Indigenous peoples.

The owners of the food stores should do a lot more for us

Slavers from 🇮🇳🇨🇳 villagers welcome to 🇨🇦👎👎👎 time sell and leave this state .

How many of the food bank users have the newest iPhone and poor financial restraint? Canadians need financial education and encouragement to not go into debt.

Thanks Trudeau, Canadians please make a statement that we don’t want to live this way. Trudeau and ndp must go. Vote Pierre

Perhaps another injection courtesy of Dr tam

All Trudeaus fault...but cbc wont blame their master lol pathetic

If Canadians Used their Health Card Swipe, They would see the minimum "Alottment" At Any Registered Operating Business In Canada For Canadian Citizen's 🇨🇦

Thanks for screwing up everything trudum. Just tax us more that should fix everything.

Time for a minimum income law. Properly implemented, it would resolve many of our problems as it would stabilise our economy and create a situation where anyone can improve their lifestyle because they are no longer forced to accept menial jobs just to survive. There is no democracy in our workplace. The large corporations ignore their workers unless faced with strikes. They value and reward their investors more than their workers who actually produce the goods that these investors gamble on. A minimum income would stop the rich from taking advantage of the poor as every individual would not be forced to work to survive. Capitalists would have to pay a decent wage or they would not get any one to work for them. The same would go for working conditions. A minimum income law would be the greatest benefit for the average man as the Magna Carta.
