The collapse is imminent as our Police State performs as expected. Is the U.S ready on your Northern front? 1 In 10, in a 4 million+ city are reliant on donations just to eat each month. This is Canada.

From another article:

The report says over 120,000 new individuals started using food bank services for the first tie this past year — which is a 154% increase compared to the previous year — and 52% of these new clients have someone in their household who is employed.


One in 10 people in Toronto are now relying on food banks, twice as many as the year prior, a new report finds.

Food bank usage has smashed another record this year, with more than 2.5 million visits between April 2022 and March 2023 — a 51 per cent increase from the year before — and there are no signs of slowing down, according to this year's Who's Hungry report from Daily Bread and North York Harvest food banks.

Daily Bread and North York Harvest indicate in the report they are anticipating Toronto food bank visits in 2023 will surpass three million visits.

"We are in a crisis as a city," Ryan Noble, executive director of North York Harvest Food Bank, told CBC Toronto. "We're in real danger as a community, when we have one in 10 of our residents needing to turn to food banks."
