  2. Trudeau expenses 12 grand a month for food for his family. He also expenses to tax payers a private chef, kitchen staff and 2 nannies. Let that sink in. He's a narcissistic nut job. He thinks he's a king.

  3. The best way to bring down food insecurity is to force big corporations to turn all the funds that they are hiding in offshore tax shelters. Stop relying on American Style nonprofit organizations to feed our people. Canada is far more socialist than the United States but we have been slipping as of late.

  4. I'm glad someone actually raised up the point that the government neglect the single adults who work and yet were not given any support at all at times of hardship. Benefits are often for a family or a couple with kids but nothing for single adults.

  5. And a lot of people who are older and too proud to go in food banks are starving or cannot afford meat anymore. And DEFINITIVELY need help for people with disabilities and illness . The people you don't see and can't barely afford 2 meals a day . YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU ! Be kind , do something for those people in your communities .

  6. Putting our time and effort in activities and investments that will yield a profitable return in the future is what we should be aiming for. Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Show me a man without investment and I'll tell you how long it takes to go bankrupt. Investing creates a safe heaven for the future. With the right investment choice that has at least a 10% minimum risk and with the advice of an expert, profits and interest is guaranteed

  7. 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.
    So government you just keep jacking up that carbon tax and putting more and more people into poverty!

  8. Not only giving food but teaching people to make the most of what they are given would be a good idea. Do people know how to make soup anymore? I mean from broth and vegetables! My mother always had a pot of homemade soup, on the stove, it was potato in winter in summer it was vegitable. Most things were homemade from whatever she could get. People rely too much on packaged food which can be expensive. My mother would take soup she had made to a food kitchen. She would never see anyone go hungry.

  9. The insane spending by the Trudeau government is the cause of all of it. We are $1 trillion in the hole because of Justin Trudeau my great grandchildren will not even be able to recover this evil. Prime Minister should’ve been fired years ago.

  10. We have been on a recession since the beginning of 2022, but big media and governments all over the world didn’t want to admit it. We need to be wise and use our brains. Knowledge is power and I’d like all the family to be powerful! I trade and hold profits, ROBERT RUSSEL DANIEL has been doing a great job reviewing all chart, trade and techniques on BTC which has enhance the growth of my portfolio to 9.5 BTC lately.

  11. I realized that the secret to making a million is saving for a better investment. I always tell myself you don't need that new Maserati or that vacation just yet. That mindset helped me make more money investing. For example last year I invested 80k in stocks (with the help of my Financial Advisor of course) and made about 246k, but guess what? I put it all back and traded with her again and now I'm rounding up close to a million.
