Id like him to do more of this.
This President is just plain incredible...we have never had such a pro-active President in our history. Got to love him!
Wendys, McDonalds and other fast food chains should be able to acquire beef without government intervention.
Just got a double from them. Goooooood burger.
How much is really “supply chain”, and how much is it that fast food joints like Wendy’s are one of the easier lazy options for people who don’t want to cook, with all of the lock-down BS and closures at other restaurants?
My brother and I do the shopping right now, and we haven’t had any problem getting beef at either Kroger’s or Costco so far. And plenty of chicken, fish, etc. You DO have to know how to cook, but we’re not hurting out here.
What about the french fries and burrito coverings?
The food nazis get to check off their square in this game of overreach roulette.
And the meat Trump promises will come from where exactly?
This would never happened under the watch of Dave Thomas.
We’ve had three slaughterhouses in Alberta shut down so far. The biggest, Cargill, is in High River, just south of Calgary. It has over 400 of almost 2,000 employees with the CCP-Coronavirus. Part of the problem is that in parts of the plant, the workers are working cheek by jowl. Also, they were not issued any masks. The third issue is, to save money, the plants hire low wage, temporary foreign workers. Many of these workers come from Africa, China and South East Asia. I am sure that things are similar in the US.
Of course, one or more of these workers came back to Canada from a visit home, or are new hires, bringing the CCP-Coronavirus with them. Working in close proximity, with no masks, the virus spread like wildfire through the plant and then through their homes.
Many of these people, especially Filipinas, live in shared accommodations in South Calgary, rather than High River. There are also many Filipinas working in Health Care, especially in nursing homes. Many of these people also live in shared accommodations, usually with fellow Filipinas/os, many in Calgary South, sharing accommodations with Cargill employees.
Over 2/3 of the almost 6,000 CCP-Coronavirus cases in Alberta are in the Calgary region. Most of those cases are in the southern part of the city. The earliest and worst ‘hot spot’ of cases in nursing homes was McKenzie Towne Continuing Care Centre, in the south. Of course, many nurses and staff are not from Canada.
Given the fact that we’ve (Calgary region) had the highest unemployment rate of all major Canadian cities for over two years, why, in the name of Sam Hill, have we allowed this low wage foreign worker law to remain on the books? Why hasn’t the Conservative Premier of Alberta, brought in legislation that allows AB to control immigration, like Quebec has done? Why has he not prevented such low wage temporary workers in AB when ALBERTANS have been suffering such high unemployment for so long?
Now, Kenney has a lot on his plate. Where does one start, to repair the four years of damage to our economy wrought by True-dope in d’Ottawa and former Premier Comrade Nutley?
In the US, you have a President who wants to MAGA. In Kanadahar, we have a Prime Mistake who wants to MCAFS. (Make Canada A Failed State). May God have mercy on us!
No meat shortages at my local grocery store. I think this so-called “shortage” is just another excuse for the meatpackers to raise the price of meat and/or get special government favors. So tired of industry leaders claiming the supply chain will break or the economy will collapse if someone so much as farts in their direction.
I bet that the 18% are stores in black neighborhoods where chicken is a bigger seller. just sayin the obvious.
President Trump needs to do everything he can to improve supply chains, at every stage, for basic food and supplies.
McDonald’s hasn’t served real beef in 40 years.
The phrase originated as a slogan for the fast food chain Wendy's.
