Canada food crisis: 25 percent of parents in Canada are cutting down on their food to provide enough food to their children. This shocking claim has been made in a recent report. At the same time, more than 90% of families are cutting down on their expenditure on groceries. Many people are buying less nutritious food because it is cheaper.
This information is given in the report of the Salvation Army. It is a non-profit organization. According to the report, living in Canada was once a dream for people, but now this country is facing a food crisis. If one-fourth of the people can feed their children by cutting down on their food, then it can be understood how deep this crisis is. The Salvation Army report released on November 21 also states that more than 90% of the people surveyed said that they have reduced spending on groceries to save money for other financial priorities.
Why did this crisis come
According to the Salvation Army report, Canadians are facing this crisis due to jobs and inflation. This is putting pressure on Canadian families.
The government will give an exemption in GST.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau may announce an exemption in Goods and Services Tax (GST) on some essential goods, so that the problem of affordability in Canada can be reduced. At the same time, food banks in Canada are also facing a shortage. Some food banks have decided to send back international students, which may also include Indians. All this is happening when general elections are going to be held in Canada next year.
