Those prices are nuts. What happened to Sub $500 CCI high velocity in 5000 packs?
I remember those days too. I bought lots and stacked it high.

Biden and covid have combined to basically stop imports from coming in. Our quality ammo comes from Europe, the bulk stuff from the USA. The same basic thing happened when Obama was president and Americans went nuts hoarding bijillions of rounds of .22LR as a hedge against government interference and social collapse, Biden makes Obama look like Teddy Roosevelt and the Yanks are doing it again, only more so. Covid is its own monkey wrench for Euro ammo with the magnet of USA demand thrown in. And then of course there's the Turd danger exporters and importers presumably feel in Canada, it's a perfect storm.
I thought the OP was just looking for suggestions about where he might find some cheap plinking ammo at a decent price.
And I was explaining why there is none but hope for the future. Problem?
Welp, #1, yes there is some; I just checked and he's gotten a few suggestions. #2, he wasn't asking why the price of 22lr has gone up so much or is so scarce; he was asking for suggestions where he could find some. #3, ya, I have a problem with gunnies using every single thread to go off on their political rants. I'm sure you've changed a whole bunch of minds and also helped the OP with his quest, for sure.
Problem?
Canadian Tire
Winchester 36 grain 555 for $49.95 or 9 cents per never tried them
Remington bucket of 1400 hi velocity was $150. 10.7 cents a round and seems to shoot well in all of my guns
That Winchester stuff, the 222, 333 and 555 whatever the round is called, I don't like it. I had over 6000 rounds of it at one point and I'd honestly say 1/100 are faulty primers. Maybe slightly less but more than any other brand I've hoarded.
I shot about 3 boxes of the 333 packs and my savage loved it. Can't find any more in my province!
333 or 555 is the worst 22lr ammo in human kind history

Tie with cheap remington.
OK, I understand your issue now. You know, there are left wing politics behind every issue with firearms in these times and being an angry right winger I do take pains to make sure that people know it and keep it in mind.
How close to the US border are you?
- You can bring back 5,000rds without a import permit
No, you can not!
