A recent spring food drive in Barrie, Ont. fell $100,000 short on their financial goal. It's part of a growing trend across Canada.

Lol. Yeah. I'm just going to hang out at the food bank taking pictures. I'll also have the housemate sign a sworn affidavit. Brb

I'm confused why you don't understand why proof is important in this situation. We live in a time of disinformation, we'd appreciate the evidence for obvious reasons.

At best your pointing out a potential issue, at worst you're getting people to look at this at face value to add fuel to the fire.

It's important to have proof, but it was pretty silly to ask in this situation where it's pretty much impossible to prove.
