In a display of managerial “elite” prowess they discuss the possibility of a pandemic’s impact on food for urban dwellers:

“In a modern-day, just-in-time food-supply chain, also drawing inputs and ingredients from across the world, such [a] pandemic would not only have severe public-health implications but also pose significant economic impacts and challenges across the entire agri-food continuum,” says a federal discussion guide written last year. Farmers, food producers and distributors will not be immune to the disease, says the paper.... The department also asked the industry to come up with a list of 20 non-perishable food products that could continue to be produced here in Canada in the event of a crisis…

If the folks that could produce the “non-perishable food products within Canada” “will not be immune to the disease”, how exactly do they propose to farm, produce and distribute these “food products within Canada”?

It is really quite amusing, in a black humor sort of way, how the managerial elite spins such contradictions:

“Even though we have a plan, even though we have tested that plan, even though we’ve learned through the crises such as SARS and hurricane Juan and blackouts and Port of Vancouver strikes and all of these types of things, even though we’ve learned lessons through all of that, we continue to simulate possible vulnerabilities.”

Notice how the theocrat poses as a “risk manager” by claiming that his canon of faith has been “tested”.  So Canadians can continue to chant their catechism of borderlessness and globalization and renounce the mortal sins of xenophobia, isolationism and nationalism—at least until the day comes when “the plan” must be put into action to produce and distribute food “within Canada” despite everyone in the food supply chain being potential carriers of a virulent disease.

Praise Jesus, God’s Innocent Son, Victimized By the Jews!

Oops…  Wrong theocracy…

Praise Jews, God’s Innocent Chosen, Victimized by the Xenophobes!
