      I think the real story here is that Canadian citizens are depending on food bank shipments from across the world. What are we? Somalia? When do the UN camps start springing up? Good grief.

      Why would food be coming thru the Strait of Hormuz to Toronto food bank? Totally bizarre

      >“Right now, we are purchasing dozens of containers with rice primarily,” Hetherington explained. “I don’t know the number of containers, but it would probably be in the neighbourhood of a half dozen containers. You think about that, and you think about the number of meals that would have provided for for the City of Toronto.”

      So not only is he purchasing food from abroad, he doesn’t know how much he bought!? Is it “a half dozen” containers, or “dozens” of containers?

      This sounds all kinds of sus.

      We grow potatoes, substitute, nobody is required to eat rice. Buy Canadian right? PEI. Elbows all the way up.

      Lots of people in the comments wondering why a foodbank is using foreign food imports, probably while sipping a coffee. You’d think after COVID people would be a bit more self aware of how interconnected all our supply chains are.

      How do they even know that? Did they get a parcel tracking notification “your parcel went down with the ship’

      I didn’t know food banks could directly order staples from other countries. I mean it makes sense. I guess I sort of always expected that it was donated locally.

      Why the fuck are we getting food from the Middle East when loads of businesses toss perfectly good food in the bins?!

      What’s wrong with this country that we need so many food banks and we have to import food from the Middle East? Thank the liberal economic policies

      It’s not just tariffs affecting these industries. There are bad actors in all business, but, this harms the vulnerable. This is an ongoing issue, for as long as I can recall.

      The largest actual commodity traders (rice, grains, other types of commodities) from India are in Dubai. They likely had a container of stuff from India at the Dubai ports in the tax free zone and were shipping to Canada.

      That doesn’t seem like a huge amount of food for a loaded ship travelling through that Strait

      Now they just need to sink a tanker and set off some mines and they’ll have the beginnings of giant stir fry.

      Many Canadians lost all respect for food banks when those videos came out. Will never donate again.

      …did their shipping partners seriously try and ship food through a fucking war zone?! Especially after Iran closed the Straights?

      I am assuming that they’ve fired their shipping partners? Right?! *anakinandpadmememe*
