19% of people living in Ontario experience food insecurity. That’s almost 3 million Ontarians. 1 in 4 children live in a food insecure household. (www.odph.ca)

The solution: Policies that increase incomes

Reducing food insecurity requires income solutions such as higher minimum wage, higher social assistance rates and lower income tax rates for the lowest income households.

While I do agree that these should be in place, the reality is that it's not only the lowest income households who are struggling with the cost of living.

Support should be given to all households who aren't outright wealthy or else you're ignoring the majority of Canadians.

NDP want their policies to be universal

Liberals want it to only apply to the lowest class

Cons don’t want any

Based on popularity, most people seem to be between none and bare minimum

I want to stab you 20 times.

You don't want to be stabbed at all.

Let's compromise and stab you 10 times.
