Despite there being empty shelves, La Fleche said there has been “no real hoarding.”

Yesterday he said bare shelves were a lie and only the cost had went up.

“There’s no panic in the stores,” he said. “I think consumers understand what’s happening after two years of pandemic.”

Sure they do.

Hey everybody, our failed policies aren’t causing the inflation, it’s the truckers fault. Git ‘em!!

but we’re getting the merchandise

So the truckers aren't actually protesting anything, then? Seems like they're just riding around on their off time if shit's still getting delivered.

He’s double talking. He mentions bare shelves but customers being used to it because of the pandemic then immediately switches to prices.

I’m sure some trucks are delivering but with 50,000 not it will start hurting in the coming weeks. Fresh produce will be the first to sky rocket in price as most comes from America this time of years.

Guess it's time to get on that carnivore diet. Lots of game and wild turkeys around these parts. Hell, wouldn't be that hard to trap a few rabbits and start breeding 'em. Just need to find a good local farmer willing to sell me some butter.

Produce is first since it comes from the American south this time of year, next comes everything else.

I wish we had more first hand accounts instead of a ceo.

Here we go, it’s omicron disrupting the supply chain lol.

Just Google “canada shelves empty” and there’s all kinds of photos and articles.

Sands said things like cereals, soups and spices are getting harder to find in Western Canada, while Charlebois said perishables are posing a bigger problem in Atlantic Canada and Northern Ontario.

But the message from both experts is the same: This, too, shall pass.

"The shortages that we're experiencing right now … are temporary, and I can't emphasize enough that we don't want to see a resumption or return to panic-buying," Sands said. "That helps no one and hurts everyone."

But on the whole, he said, they are expected to be temporary while the country rides out the "tsunami" of Omicron.

So it's not as if there are truckloads of food piling up at the border, waiting to be delivered but for a lack of vaccinated truckers.
