“We’re sorry for upsetting the Lake Country community,” said Dan Marcotte, a Lake Country resident. “That wasn’t our intent.” A couple in Lake Country, B.C.
has gone viral, from a video showing them buying two shopping carts full of meat. “We just wanted to protect ourselves, our family and our animals,” Marcotte told Global News on Thursday.
Marcotte said he and his girlfriend panicked after seeing people at the supermarkets hoarding food and other necessities — and that prompted him to buy the meat. “We decided to go, buy meat and essentials to get us by because, according to the media, this could go on for months,” said Marcotte.
