Hahaha! You'll find the answer is yes to both of the above. BUT with the caveat that there's somewhere in the middle too. The Canadian government *does* recommend that all Canadians keep 72 hours of emergency food/water etc. We do have earthquakes, floods and other potential emergencies.
A couple of years ago in Calgary people were queuing up at the supermarkets to buy emergency provisions - bottled water, canned food. It's nice not to have to be one of those people.
I remember walking into a doomsday scene at a local supermarket during the flood. There I was in shorts and flip flops, and the mayhem around me was absolutely nuts. I was lucky enough to be on higher ground from the river but had I not been, an emergency stockpile would have definitely have been better than the running of the bulls for a can of tuna lol. Maybe once some 9mm is back in stock I'll grab some emergency food at the same time. Come to think of it, food is pretty much the only survival necessity not in my truck at all times. I snowboard a lot and getting stuck waiting for an avalanche to be cleared is certainly a situation I could find myself in!
