Canada’s been monitoring #foodinsecurity since 2005, but sharing data on the scale of the problem hasn’t been enough to trigger meaningful action. Food insecurity is a bigger problem now than ever before. Our latest report outlines solutions: bit.ly/2W6uoO6

The advocacy organization, Justice for Migrant Workers, is calling for an immediate shutdown of Ontario's entire agricultural industry until every workplace is fully sterilized to stop the spread of COVID-19 among its workers.
