There is hunger in Canada

In 2012, close to 900,000 people were assisted each month by a food bank in Canada. This is essentially unchanged from 2010, and remains 31% above levels experienced before the 2008-2009 recession. 

There is hunger in Canada because...

Too many Canadians do not have enough income to pay for rent, bills, clothing for growing children, transportation, medication – and food. Food is unfortunately one of the most flexible household expenses, and it is often nutrition that suffers when money is tight.
