Canada is the only country in the G7 that doesn’t have a national school food program. Researchers say that as high inflation affects food prices, more children need access to these programs — but community groups say they need stable funding from the federal government to keep everyone fed.

    That’s very unfortunate, and further highlights that Canada’s hackjob of school food programs is insufficient in it’s current state. I vaguely recall school breakfasts starting in the Ottawa region in the 90s.

    Québec massive augmentation of the food program in 2020 (+$11Mn / 60%) really enamoured me with the province.
