Not really rage bait

It’s known that international students use food banks, Brampton had to ban it awhile back

As for throwing stuff out…why would people expect differently? White people throw things out they don’t like, now imagine being in a country that eats completely different food

Rage bait because the post read as : foreign students take food out of struggling Canadians mouths just to throw it out.

Lol. Yeah. I’m just going to hang out at the food bank taking pictures. I’ll also have the housemate sign a sworn affidavit. Brb

I’m confused why you don’t understand why proof is important in this situation. We live in a time of disinformation, we’d appreciate the evidence for obvious reasons.

At best your pointing out a potential issue, at worst you’re getting people to look at this at face value to add fuel to the fire.

It’s important to have proof, but it was pretty silly to ask in this situation where it’s pretty much impossible to prove.
