1 in 5 Canadians know someone who went to a food bank in the past year

How is unemployment and social security payments there, is it similar to our setup?

So what are they going to do about this to help people not have to resort to food banks, we have the same problems here in California.

I always read how Canada has free healthcare, free schools even paid out money to ordinary people during Covid, They are a G7 oil producing country, the 2nd largest in the world, what is going on up there.

How can the people of a G7 country be that bad off, is it really that hard earning a living in Canada?
