Letter: CANADA’S FOOD BASKET

Commentary
Written By The Oyen Echo

Canada is known as one of the “Food baskets” of the world, and we have millions of people living off the food banks. Now we hear we have people in Canada who have scurvy. How could this ever happen in a country like Canada? It almost seems like someone should be charged with genocide. We export food worldwide, and some of our own people are starving. Do you think we’ll ever be able to find a politician who can solve this problem? This 250-dollar cheque that’s supposed to be coming out in the New Year will give a family about two weeks of better food. After that, it’ll be back to the Food Banks!
