Actually the Canadian Food Bank are getting financial help from the Federal Government. Here's a statement from the Food Bank website: https://www.foodbankscanada.ca/Blog/March-2016-(1)/Federal-Budget-Offers-Significant-Support-To-Canad.aspx
ReplyDeleteThe creation of the new Canada Child Benefit, a streamlined monthly cash benefit for families that replaces the Canada Child Tax Benefit, the Universal Child Care Benefit and several other programs.
DeleteHundreds of millions in new funds, which will build on current programs to support the creation and maintenance of affordable housing, and the prevention and reduction of homelessness.
Nearly $600 million to support social housing providers to repair and update existing social housing stock.
An increase in the Guaranteed Income Supplement for single seniors living with very low incomes, with a value of up to $1,000 per year.
An additional $65 million, over five years, to expand Nutrition North Canada into all northern isolated communities.
Thanks .... I just went to try the Trudeau Child Benefit Calculator on the CRA Web Site and leaned that a New Immigrant Family coming to Canada with no income and 10 kids makes $58,000 a year. Not bad eh ! Not and at all ....
DeleteIt's a good thing one of us took the time to read the website you posted, Food Banks Canada.
DeleteThey aren't a food bank. They are a bureaucracy that "supports" food banks in Canada, an umbrella organization. So whatever pittance Junior is giving them does NOT go directly to Canada's hungry. It goes to pay bureaucrats and design fancy websites.
And as a regular food bank recipient (disabled, not enough money for both medications and food) I can assure you that Canadians these days, at least in Toronto, are getting next to nothing from any level of government. Too many "refugees" with their $1000 strollers who get VIP priority access to the food, including all fresh foods (produce, meats, dairy) because they're considered halal and anything halal is reserved for them. They also get a base payment of three times what I get each month, plus more for each child. I used to get a box of food when I went to the food bank. Now I get a grocery bag with unhealthy cheap ramen noodles and chef boyardee. I guess those things aren't halal enough for Junior's imported elites, who leave with their giant strollers loaded, and with multiple bags hanging off of the sides.
If Junior really gave a single thought for Canadian poor, he should either have NOT imported these people who are an extra burden on inadequate social services, or he should have set aside enough funds to properly take care of them without putting them in competition for services against Canada's poor and vulnerable. Poor Canadians are in bad enough straits in the first place, thanks to successive heartless regimes of all parties, provincial, federal and municipal. We don't need to be hit again with these foreigners getting special treatment and parachuted to the front of all wait lists - and lineups at the food banks.
Who a $1000 dollars per year is enough to support seniors living in poverty, I think not! And a $600 million to help with housing is enough when we send billions to other countries to support them with their poverty. I'm sorry I love to help the needy but are we doing this at the expense of our own suffering day to day..
ReplyDeleteI agree completely! I am all in favour if helping those in need but we have to treat our people better first!
ReplyDeleteSo my big question is -HOW DO WE STOP THIS!????
You can't until 2019 when we get to vote and hopefully the Conservatives will do a better job.
DeleteTHIS IS INSANE !!!!!!! STOP THIS NOW
ReplyDeleteomg
ReplyDeleteHOW can a government neglect its own people when financing foreign nationals who have NEVER contributed a penny to the countries coffers---I find it unbelievable that our own prime minister is allowed to get away with this and that canadians are being put to the back of the queue when it comes to welfare---Please god let Trudeau and his liberal do-gooders are kicked out of office as soon as possible
ReplyDeleteWhen you hide all funds in Foundations and they are money launderers ,arrests have to be made .Are the RCMP and Congress afraid ,the people will atand with them ,of course with the muslims taking over our populations that will not last long will it ?
ReplyDeleteVote 2019
