In Windsor the line for one food bank near me has gone from a few people to hundreds.
But they aren't Canadians.
90% are foreign students.
One is a tenant here.
He throws away 75% of the food he gets. 2 days ago he threw away 6 boxes of kd. 3 pies. A jar ofbbq sauce. Buns, bread, candy, pasta. He kept the 3 tomatoes. (I kept the kd and BBQ sauce because there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. The pies were eaten by animals instead of hungry people)
You can watch others take their boxes and bags of food, sift through and throw out what they don't want.
Some have taken bags of vegetables only to dump them on the street.
If they can spend 60k on school they shouldn't be stealing from hungry Canadians.
Can you get documentation of this? Sounds like ur just posting rage bait.
Not really rage bait
It’s known that international students use food banks, Brampton had to ban it awhile back
As for throwing stuff out…why would people expect differently? White people throw things out they don’t like, now imagine being in a country that eats completely different food

Rage bait because the post read as : foreign students take food out of struggling Canadians mouths just to throw it out.
