Our 2024 Canadian Government continues to promote national social & economic instability, support for irresponsible corporate behavior by uplifting Loblaws, other corporate greed food pricing magnate by implementing a $1billion dollar national food program over 5 years that does nothing to address the root cause of the problem: corporate | stakeholder greed that lines pockets with hungry Canadian Citizens' $. Force businesses to reduce exorbitant high food prices or a tiered food pricing: one for the rich, for families; for the poor; for Seniors...we have the technology & the knowledge...not the will.
Frustration with the CAD Govt's approach to addressing issues related to corporate behavior and food insecurity has grown beyond what the CAD Govt's resources can handle – this is the CAD Govt's response to its lack of resources to handle the number of complaints it is receiving. It's crucial for the CAD Govt. to prioritize policies that effectively address the root causes of societal challenges, rather than merely providing temporary solutions or bolstering irresponsible corporate behavior.
If you believe that the gov'ts current approach is inadequate, consider taking the following steps to advocate for change: engage in advocacy efforts and work collaboratively...you can contribute to bringing about positive change and hold our National Gov't accountable to address the root causes of social & economic instability...includes national food insecurity; national work insecurity; national healthcare insecurity...collectively we have power - it's why the govt. has proposed this flimsy, paper-thin promise.
""Canada is the only G7 country that does not have a national school food program, according to the Breakfast Club of Canada...""
Spending $1 billion over five years to implement | launch a national school food program, hoping to deliver meals to an additional 400,000 children per year, the program does not address the root cause of an entire country that has entire families going hungry every minute of every day in Canada: grandmas, grandpas, mothers, fathers, stepmothers, stepfathers, children, stepchildren, adults, seniors…
While both "implement" and "launch" involve taking action to introduce or execute something, "implement" focuses on the execution or carrying out of a plan, decision, or agreement, while "launch" emphasizes the introduction or initiation of something new, often with a public announcement or event: none, zero $$$ of that $1Billion Dollars will go to purchasing the food to feed the supposed 400,000 Canadian school-aged children.
The CAD Gov't. has not said how the funds are being allocated & to whom: Canada has 10 provinces, 3 territories with citizens who are all hungry.
If the funds are not being directed towards purchasing food to feed the intended beneficiaries, it raises questions about the effectiveness and transparency of the program.
