OMG there is no food shortage... we're just so accustomed to abundance we're not used to seeing even the occasional empty shelf. You know what there IS a shortage of? CLEAN WATER in so many First Nations communities. Which-unlike eating in a restaurant- actually is a human right.

Here’s what makes it so upsetting: we all have the right and freedom to not get vaccinated. What they’re protesting are the consequences. They’re actually protesting having to temporarily take other measures to protect the people in their communities if they make that choice.
