The things that Canadians are Proud of!


They say desperate times call for desperate measures. It's more than 7 weeks that I had nothing but a phone call and an interview which led to nothing and my E. I. hasn't even started. I decided to get some help from a local food bank and they were great, although the diet really is different from what I'm used to! They give you lots of sugary snacks, old meat and stuff like that. Don't get me wrong, I strongly believe in Don't look at the gift horse at the mouth, and I still use the stuff as I have no other choice but look at a few things I've found in the packaging of the stuff I've been give:
In the Turkey Breast package, it clearly says that only 20% of the content is meat! What the hell is the rest then?! Does anyone cares?! No! Not when everything was reasonably priced. People just eat whatever they can get their hands on and what's better than something which requires no preparation!
The back of a package or most packages in Canada proudly states it could not be recycled. When there are thousands and thousands of open water at each side of the country, why would anyone care about recycling?! Just throw them in the big ponds at each side of the country or send them to The Philippines! 
Then we get to the packaging itself. I need to clarify here that " garbage " and " trash " is one of the major exports of Canada! How much do they earn from that? I know they earn lots of dislike in The Philippines! That's one of the destinations where Canadian garbage ends up. You see that they proudly indicate in the back of the packaging that it could not be recycled! After all Filipinos have something to protest on the streets. You can't just stay in your slum and make babies, although the countries who depend on cheap labour might have problems!
