Canadians may see less food in grocery stores, but experts say no need to panic

Canadians will likely experience shortages of some food items and increased prices as the Omicron COVID-19 variant snags supply chains and a vaccine mandate takes effect for cross-border truckers, according to industry experts.

However, they say that Canadians should not worry about food availability and that no one needs to panic buy.

“There is food on the grocery shelves,” said Michelle Wasylyshen, spokesperson for the Retail Council of Canada, which represents big-box grocery stores in the country.

She said, though, that there could be shortages of certain products, such as soups, cereals, fresh fruits and vegetables, and meats.

It’s time to piss crap or get off the pot. Either go full martial and force at the barrel of a gun the compliance of the populous or just give up. In Canada they don’t have the density to put up a valid resistance of the Canadians were serous they could just go door to door and jab people with SWAT teams I would bet good money there wouldn’t be but a few incidents and those would be one sided of the ROE is allowed with gloves off there would be a few dead groups and some dead Gmen but after a week or two or would be in favor of Gmen.

I would also take even money here while keyboard commandos talk a good game effectively zero have real trigger time or had it 30+ years ago most couldn’t run a 10K let alone 5 in full battle rattle without having a heart attack being old and obese.

To think middle aged or older who haven’t done PT in two decades can take it too the battle field with 20 year olds in the prime of their lives is nothing but internet bravado. I’d love to see the number of people here who can do a 7 minute mile with 40 lbs of plate carrier armor and another 40 in ammo water and weapon. I would put a grand that it’s less than 5% who could without having a cardiac event.

I did my last D.C. Marathon in 2019 and could do it tomorrow if asked too for those wondering I’m not in anyway shape or form a fat body. Truth hurts but it’s necessary to effect change. Expecting your kids to fight your battles is a losing proposition.

But other than that, it will be fine.

So pretty much everything.

There will be plenty of stuff no one wants like cream of bean or canned cow puds with gravy.

Do these people even hear themselves?

When experts tell you not to panic then it’s already too late.

Please feel free to post a video of ANYONE that can run a 7 minute mile with 80 extra pounds of kit, weapon, ammo, and water.

Please. So all of us can see it for ourselves and have a goal.

I’ll take Jerry Miculek any day of the week and I’m betting he can’t run. 5K in “full battle rattle”.

Plenty of all of the above should should be pressure canned, by now.

Yes, "experts" seems to be the most abused, carelessly used catch-all word in the last 2 years. At least that is what one expert says.

The COVID plandemic didn’t work to bring about their Global Reset, so now, they’re going to try a famine. It should work really well on the citiots who don’t even have 3 days of food on hand.

What is your point? Besides sounding very arrogant and condescending, what was the point of your comment?

I believe “experts say” has now surpassed “teens” as the most frequently used weasel words BS in the fake profession of journalism.

The problem is that most of the smart Canadian experts got green cards in the US and are plying their trade there.

We are definitely short of smart experts in Canada.

Alternative social media like Bitchute.com and gab.com have some interesting videos of the huge convoy heading to Ottawa. just wish the “Rubber Duck” was with them.

The crowds lining the highways are amazing.
