Get used to no light, heat and the North Korean diet:
A new report by University of Toronto (U of T) researchers found that almost six million Canadians experienced food insecurity in 2021.
The Household Food Insecurity in Canada 2021 study, led by U of T nutritional sciences professor Valerie Tarasuk’s research group PROOF, used data from 54,000 households in Statistics Canada’s Canadian Income Survey.
The report found that 5.8 million people, including 1.4 million children, lived in households facing food insecurity. The total number amounts to the equivalent of 15.9% of households across the 10 Canadian provinces.
(Sidebar: instead baffleglab, why not just call things as they are, like food shortages or poor consumer choices or prime rib for the slobs on Parliament Hill but none for taxpayers?)

One in four Canadians confessed to taking on debt in 2022 to pay for higher costs of living, a new survey has found. It’s a trend that has some experts sounding the alarm.
