Dks01 I have no time for another one of your manufactured conjecture, your providing Government program withs its own goals and programs and passing it off as this private charity. There may be overlap between the two, but it doesn’t explain why those that needed the least get the most.
The PC Kids Charity states how many “MEALS” they have given to kids, that is all the information they give. Meals is how they advertise their program, buried deeper in their site they also provide some equipment funding but do not provide a metric for that amount no who or where it was spent.
Their own numbers don’t make a lot of sense for example the most elite and prestigious schools in the city is receiving more meals than other schools (a number that is higher than student enrollment), where as the schools with the lowest academic scores have more students than meals. I didn’t collect their data but it does point to some degree of selectivity and bias in how they dole out their PC brand help™. In contrast to this PC group, the May Court Club has been doing food and other programs for years and without the benefit of forcing consumers unwillingly to support their efforts as Loblaws was caught doing.
Considering the dollar amount the entire loblaws brand ripped off consumers purchasing bread alone they should have enough money to fund the nearly six million students across canada without begging or proactively charging customers to fund THEIR own program.
