Meanwhile, the “food bank” to which the student was referring was revealed to be a university program and not a public food bank. And it echoed much of what he was saying in the video that got people so riled up.
On the website for the program, which is run by the Laurier Students’ Public Interest Research Group and Martin Luther University College, it notes: “If you are experiencing marginal, moderate or severe food insecurity, our program is for you to come and take what you need.”
It adds: “Take as much as you need. We do not limit how much students take because we don’t know how much you need. However, please keep in mind that the supplies we have must be shared amongst many.”

It’s a school program, not a food bank.
It’s a food bank by the uni for uni students. Regardless, students shouldn’t even require something like that in Canada. There’s a deeper problem.
