“We’ll get a Sikorsky helicopter and drop trailers in our parking lot if that’s what it comes to.” @saveonfoods President Darrell Jones says no need to hoard food supplies. Products being sourced. Medicine flown in by charter. Runs coming from Edmonton and Calgary. @GlobalBC
Y'all aren't gonna believe what they had ready for me at my MRI.
