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.

    That’s rather infuriating. I thought I heard stories about this and how certain food banks had to restrict students because the abuse was so high. Apparently it’s a “tip” that’s been passed around to international students.

        Nope. My message doesn’t indicate that it is an ongoing issue. Not sure why you’re asking me for proof either.

      That doesn’t surprise me. I’ve seen people suggesting to others, who are NOT in need, to visit their local soup kitchen for free/low-cost meals. I don’t know how they can sleep at night with a clear conscience, but that’s disturbing.
