A recent spring food drive in Barrie, Ont. fell $100,000 short on their financial goal. It's part of a growing trend across Canada.

Can you get documentation of this? Sounds like ur just posting rage bait.

Not really rage bait

It’s known that international students use food banks, Brampton had to ban it awhile back

As for throwing stuff out…why would people expect differently? White people throw things out they don’t like, now imagine being in a country that eats completely different food

Rage bait because the post read as : foreign students take food out of struggling Canadians mouths just to throw it out.
