HAHA wow, as soon as I heard the Mandarin was doing this, I was like its not even worth showing up, because thousands of cheap bastards are gonna be there with ridiculously long lines. c'mon look at the line, was it worth it.
These people are insane - if I worked for 5 hours I would earn almost $150. Even the dinner buffet at Mandarin is only $24.95 or something! I am sure that none of these people is so poor and desperate that they NEED to line up for food!
To get the meal you had to prove Canadian citizenship so now some people are calling that a human rights violation - how is a free meal a human right? Go to a country where people really DO need to line up for food and see what a real human rights are all about!
I agree, and even if you didn't make $30/hour, the provinces minimum wage multiplied by the average wait time of 6.5 hours and you could have fed two people on one person work. I just think it's sad that Mandarin did this, and where was Tim Hortons? It should have been free coffee and donut day yesterday.
I hear an average 5 hour wait. If you earn the provincial minumum wage of $9.50 per hour, that is a gross of $47.50. If it is the lunch buffet pricing of $12.00 you would need to be a single-income minimum-wage family of 4 to make that economy work. I know it doesn't work EXACTLY like that, but get a bucket from KFC and spend 5 hours in the park for goodness sake! That would be a better way to spend Canada Day as a family! Gosh!
i went to the one on jane and finch and damn the line was also huge probibly the same size as this one and we decided to stay until we got food, we came 1 hour and a half early and ended up waiting almost 9 hours it was insane and also there were very stuborn people too getting in fights just for a free meal wow...
i went to the one in mississauga and the line up was insane!!!! we took off, but if you have a large family, like me (6 ppl) it was probably worth. $21 each comes to more than $120.

are food that expensive here or are people that poor?
Line up for 6 hr for $10 worth of food? Why don't ppl work min wage for 1 hr and get the same food??

There are other video's where people are fighting in line-ups like this one, that's even more pathetic.
This is proof here that Canada probably has very little patriotism or culture.
