  1. Big thank you to the NDP for loosening LMIA requirements for foreign workers.  

    The poor need some kind of a workers party that fights for them, maybe some new party can fill that gap?

  2. 1 in 10 Toronto residents are now using food bank services, with 13,000 new clients accessing the service for the first time monthly.

    Every food bank visit is indeed a policy failure. Enough is enough.

    Capitalism at work 

    Hope you are good at making money — it’s going to get worse 

    Making money not good enough too. You have to avoid modern consumer culture, and know how to invest

    I love how everybody is arguing some side reason this is happening. Trudeau, immigrants, fluoride in water, space lasers. It is Capitalism folks. That is why this is happening. That is why we have a housing crises. That is why grocery prices increased 30 percent. That is why your wage hasn’t gone up.

    Yeah it’s cool that you want a Lambo one day, and that you want solid diamond rims for that Lambo, but most of you aren’t going to have this….ever. Stop voting against your self interest. Start realizing that the entire world collapsing around you is caused by our economic system. Stop pretending that you will become the exploiter someday….any day now… just watch.

    Meanwhile the Weston group profits and expands into new business sectors (healthcare, banking, data sales) while squeezing suppliers (driving shrinkflation) and consumers, all while profiting off their regulatory capture and driving competition out of the market. 

  6. Honestly it has been hard not using the food bank. Even as someone who is making a living wage, being able to save an extra $50-100 on weekly groceries would be huge. There’s just no reason not to use it besides personal pride and a sense of self sufficiency. Food is just way too expensive and sometimes it’s easier just going hungry then making sure I have food for all three meals.

    I worry for the future and for Canada’s access to affordable food.
