Un food envoy olivier de schutter says canada starved many of its citizens: Olivier de schutter delivered his damning report on canada"s growing poor and hungry to geneva on monday. Everyone on welfare is ravenous (extremely hungry) People are living on a month and it gets reduced to after paying for rent. De schutter wrote a report to the united nations council on human rights in. One in 10 families are food insecure meaning they don"t know if they will eat. Welfare rates are less than average leavening no money for food. The minimum wage in canada is not a living wage meaning you cannot get all your daily needs. The poor isn"t lazy they are exhausted shame is a powerful tool. It silences most people from speaking out that they are in-need an what they"re getting isn"t enough.
