So. . . I guess a politician on Twitter is about the right person and medium.

If there is 10% unemployment , 90% are employed . Life isn’t that bad for those who work for a living . There is still the thing called upward mobility .
Industry experts agree that the country's food supply is nowhere close to collapse.
"I don't think we're going to be running out of food at grocery stores," said Simon Somogyi, a professor who studies Canada's food industry at the University of Guelph.
Canada's food supply chain is always a delicate balancing act, Somogyi said, as a relatively short growing season, coupled with vast distances, makes maintaining and distributing supplies tricky under even ideal circumstances.
And the current ones are anything but, he said.
Forget what the politicians are saying — here's what's really going on with grocery store shelves — CBC News
The state of Canadian grocery store shelves has become something of a national obsession in recent weeks. While it's misleading to suggest the country is somehow running out of food, there are a lot of empty shelves right now. Here's why consumers should expect that to continue for a while yet.
I get a phone call at 4 AM on Wednesday morning. A trucker has put out a differential on a six lane I94 covered in black ice. It’s only a couple of days after New Year’s Eve. He says to me, “What do I do now?”

My oldest brother used to do the MRE thing while on the road. There was a time when you could buy them cheap in surplus stores. He definitely had his favourites, no I’ve never had one myself, and I’m assuming it was an acquired taste, he claimed to be quite the connoisseur of them. These things did not have to be refrigerated either.
Before microwaves in trucks were a thing, the MRE’s (from what I was told), some of them were self heating. You added a pre-measured packet of water between the two trays and it heated up your food due to some chemical reaction.
so these things while he was on the go and he had a hibachi BBQ for resets on the road.
MREs could be worse. Same was true of C-rations (my time in service spanned the two). Not real great cuisine, but filling and give you 3000 Calories for your day.
Dumbasses in the Army would eat 'em without hydrating them first. They'd soak up all the fluids in the stomach and Specialist Shithead would end up in hospital.
Yeah well down here you can pay $14 a day for fast food at a truck stop…. or $2.25 for one of those meals.. small portions so you don’t get to fat
