You are blaming the individual for the lack of social supports in the society you speak of.

Certainly one can go to the food bank, or a Church as you said; however, they are not always operating and often provide only one meal. Then one has to make their way to another location to get something else when they’re hungry again, which could be a long way, and if that person is homeless that will take a lot of time away from trying to get off the street just so they don’t starve.

The article says much the same thing:

“At CFIB [Canadian Federation of Independent Business], we’re calling on all levels of government to work together and take more accountability to address all of these underlying societal issues that contribute to these problems: Housing, mental health and addiction, the cost of living."

“These are things we think we can work together on better.”
