Among food companies that have been vocal about the continuing crisis, the response has been to focus on supply – and how to increase it

But, in an interview with The Globe and Mail, Mr. McCain – who announced earlier this month he will step down as Maple Leaf’s chief executive next year – explained why those approaches are based on “myths.”

In 2016, Mr. McCain started the Maple Leaf Centre for Action on Food Security, with a stated goal of reducing food insecurity by 50 per cent by 2030. The centre conducts research and provides funding to programs and charities aimed at reducing food insecurity. Prof. Tarasuk at the University of Toronto echoed Mr. McCain on income as the root cause of the problem. She said organizations such as the Maple Leaf centre help bring attention to the cause.

Prof. Tarasuk said chief executives could have an even greater impact by focusing their efforts around employment conditions, wages and benefits – and lobbying policy makers and other leaders in the business community to do the same.

Access to medical exams a roadblock for Ukrainians wanting to work in Canada | CBC NewsUkrainians fleeing war are encountering roadblocks they didn’t expect as they look for work in Canada. One is a requirement for a medical exam that is expensive and can be hard to access. I'm sorry but if their trying to find jobs in healthcare, shouldn't they be in Ukraine helping their people? One would have hoped Canada would have checked these things out before accepting people.......how embarrassing.

Jif peanut butter products recalled in Canada due to salmonella risk - National | Globalnews.caAmerican manufacturer J. M. Smucker Co. announced a voluntary safety recall on Saturday of 11 types of Jif peanut butter products sold in Canada. Why didn’t they recall the vaccines after 14 people died? Make it 15 people How does an intestinal/fecal bacteria contaminate peanut butter? I'm just going to suspect a whole field of peanuts were contaminated by either manure fertilizer or irrigation water contaminated by livestock manure. What a waste of food....in 2022.
