Canada Hunger Crisis: Canada, which was once considered a dream destination, is today facing a serious economic crisis. A recent report from the Salvation Army highlights this situation, stating that 25% of parents are cutting back on their meals in order to provide their children with enough food. This crisis has come due to Canada’s rising cost of living, inflation, jobs and shelter problems. The report says one in four parents in Canada cut back on their meals.
According to a report released by the Salvation Army on November 21, 90% of the people in the country are reducing their food expenses. This situation shows how Canadian families are becoming unable to meet basic needs. Food banks are also becoming empty these days. Due to shortages in food banks, some have decided to send back international students, especially Indian students.
status of parents and children
The report said that 24% of parents are cutting down on their meals to provide adequate food to their children. There is a growing trend towards cheaper and less nutritious things, which can be harmful to health if consumed for a long time.
Social media and public reaction
All this is happening when general elections are going to be held in Canada next year. In such a situation, people on social media are openly raising questions on the policies of the current government and Justin Trudeau. Canadians are expressing their displeasure through videos and posts, which shows that public confidence in the Trudeau government is decreasing.
Justin Trudeau’s new announcement
In view of the recent economic crisis, the Trudeau government announced a halt to GST and HST on groceries and children’s clothing for two months starting December 14. However, critics believe that this step has been taken keeping the next elections in mind.
