Kruger Products CEO Dino Bianco said demand for paper towels has soared as people stay at home and clean more frequently.
Geraldine Huse, president of Procter & Gamble Canada, said demand for the company's tissue products, including Charmin toilet paper and Bounty paper towels, increased significantly in mid-March. She said the company expects strong sales of cleaning products, including its paper towel, home cleaners and dishwashing liquid, to continue in the coming months and that P&G is "producing and shipping 24/7 to meet demands."
Baade said the company, which makes Royale paper towel and other brands under store "house brands" and private labels, continues to maximize its production to help mitigate any supply gaps. Bianco said the plant will increase the company's paper towel and toilet paper manufacturing capacity by 20 per cent.
Forget toilet paper get some pictures of my feet
Thanks for the warning. Off to Costco this weekend to re-up for no other reason
So your dog or kid poops or pukes on the floor, and ya’ll are using towels, then rewashing them? Riiiight! Calling bull on it
I guess we’ll have to use reusable cloth towels. Oh the horror!
Alternatives
kikibarkerr
A shortage for basically a non essential wasteful item. Use rags and wash them.
You clowns still posting this aye day 2 of trying to creates hysteria and panic.
Is a paper towel shortage nigh? NighJamie
Uggggghhhhhhhhhh😩
Really bad reporting
CTV news pumping out that fear porn...
Has everyone forgotten how to use a regular cloth?!? 🙄😜🤪😝
It is now! Thanks
It’s a waste of paper. I haven’t bought power towel in well NEVER. Use a rag
So did CTV buy shares and are now trying to cash in?
This is irresponsible journalism. These headlines will create a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Damn...I'm in need of paper towels right now but am jn the hospital. Will probably be all gone when I get out due to the run on pt that this article will create.
Who still has toilet paper sim e March and April ? Should CTV be sued for publishing fake news ?
Now how will I wipe my ass 🤔
Maybe this is a good thing. There are more important things to worry about than paper towels.
Well just continue to increase the prices that oughta do it.
I’m sure people still have an over supply of TP 🧻.
Cue the covidiots to run out and start hoarding again
I suppose I could just wash towels.
Don't care, i wash my ass with water anyways
What an idiotic thing to advertise.
There are reusable options available! UnPaperTowels Reuse Reduce ZeroWaste ShopLocal 🇨🇦
Use rags.
Supply and demand. Make more, idiots.
I am not sure if people is about to panic buying paper towels, but I am sure that this pic was taken in Costco because Bounty is on sale now.
It’s a lie! There is no shortage of paper towels! They are trying to start a panic buying again!!
Why would you even report this.? To get the scum to start panick buying again?
Want to create panic again? Who can use such titles? Or increase sales?
It's like you guys are trying to get people to go out and hoard this stuff.
Maybe stuff like this shouldn’t be reported so people don’t freak out. We were doing fine without people not hearing this. Now they gonna start hoarding again. Good one CTV
You people are fucking insane.
🤦🏻♀️ what’s next ? Parchment Paper cuz ppl are baking too much ?
Oh stop.
I'd believe this, I haven't seen any in stores in a few weeks. Thankfully, that's a product I can do without, but it's nice to have some on hand for especially bad messes.
Just use ndp, green or liberal flyers
They’re 100% unnecessary. Use a cloth or towel.
From toilet paper to paper towel. What's next?
The shortage happens when the media keeps telling everyone that there is a shortage and then people hoard because they were told they had to prepare for it
Jeez, you would think no has heard of a washable cloth ?
Definitely a news! 😳 I'm in shock
Are people still falling for the Doomsday Virus Hoax? I didn't know that was still a thing...
😂😂 and the sheep will buy it all.
yup! and CTV you have just made it a pandemic again..by reporting there may be a shortage..we need to get rid of all media for a week and watch the peace and calm come over the population
JUST A NOTE: watch the people who are hyping this thread; 'thanks, I better get more, hope they're not out yet' These are not Canadian values. Remember what Canada stood for before our Prime Minister told the world that Canada has no identity. We do. And we're damn proud of it
It becomes more likely every time you idiots repost the story, trying to drum up fear.
we will just use toilet paper then
This is great advertising...
And now their will be a run on paper towels, good job CTV news.
Dammit. I just ran out
What? So after living with the toilet paper shortage, the sanitizer shortage, the mask shortage...now there is going to be a PAPER TOWEL shortage? That's it. I cannot go on any longer. You all have broken me....
Here we go again
Please stop.
You’re trying to create a shortage by continuing to post these articles throughout the day. We need to fire all MSM journalists and start anew. Where is your integrity?
Haven't used 4 rolls of paper towels in 4 years. There are ecofriendly alternatives
With the possible return of Trudeau's daily press conferences...better stockpile...
I regret not stocking up more on Clorox wipes, when there was the chance - thanks for the heads up on the paper towels ... hope it's not too late! 😯
Sounds like the paper towel guys are ready to produce, fake scarcity is the longest running scam in the book.
No. Is media trying to cause another panic buy? Absolutely.
I almost never use them. They're not necessary. We survived for thousands of years without them. What a small thing to worry about.
Theres nothing but trees in Canada..it's just a reason for grocerie stores to put the price up
Justin takes a half million dollars from a taxpayers funded kids charity and gives it to his family members 🤮
The media is a failed institution. Ye talk about a shortage of a commodity and people panic and go on a buying spree...CTV News...unfuck yourselves.
I'm NOT buying. I refuse to give in to such manipulation. Have my share
Thinking the manufacturer is liking this... hmm
Wow,,,not toilet paper,,,lol
This type of article and comments from a CEO of a company that makes paper towels doesn't help one bit. All it dos is show how incompetent he was in running the company not anticipating shortages.
Great, this won’t cause any chaos. Good job!
BS.....Panic buying and money guaging. I go to the Dollar Store.
Hahahahahaha! Fuck off.
Of course there is. All the paper towels are sitting in people’s closets and pantries. For god sake use rags, or old cut up towels, wash and reuse. Start over...
So....nothing new with Trump?
No trees no lumber no paper
Of course they are so they can jack the price up and make more money during a pandemic there’s not a shortage we didn’t run out of trees. This is a perfect example of gouging
If you can sew a face mask, you can certainly sew napkins. Recyclable too. I cannot imagine for one second, fretting over a paper towel.
Way tomorons start the frenzy
You evil pricks. Predicting or baiting? If I find one CTV EXEC with shares in Charmin, you will regret this!
There is only one shortage: brain cells. What in the holy name of fuck has happened to our ability to think for ourselves? Having God-given intelligence and then not using it is as bad as never having a brain to begin with. Un-fucking believable!
Well if there wasn’t a shortage there will be now 🤦🏼♂️. Dumb dumb dumb reporting.
Here we go...panic buying .. aaaaand.....GO
Here we go, another lock down even though mortality rate is much safer. It’s because Trudeau wants an election and doesn’t want us to vote in person.
Let's start using cloth towels. I will, just to spite the media. Cheaper too.
Looked like it in Costco today.
Why don’t you report on the Epstein log flights being revealed?
STOP IT! Otherwise people will be panic buying paper towel and we will run out. Quit promoting this kind of reaction. Maybe report on real Canadian issues like TrudeauCorruption.
Are there toilet paper shortages again!? 😂
To be fair I did notice this last week at my local Home Depot and Lowe's. They were completely out of the large package with 12 jumbo rolls that I always buy for work and I kinda wondered then. 🤷♂️
No wonder the price is so high
Industrial strength crying sessions coming; ones that Kleenex won’t handle? The Covid truth about to be finally revealed?
This plandemic has taught me one important thing, CTV was never really relevant even before all of this BS.
oh ffs not again
Fucking scam
Hahahaha I have a storage locker full of paper towels and toilet paper! I’m going to be a king!
Be it on your heads CTV when thousands are killed in paper towel stampedes from St Johns to Victoria (but not Moose Jaw for some reason)
Really? Are you just out to create as much stress and panic as humanly possible in order to have something for your news cycle? I'm sure its great to have video clips of people fighting over TP and paper towels. It's no wonder I no longer watch the news. ShameOnYou DoBetter
This is the signal they used in the first lockdown. Expect a new lockdown coming soon, then.
Oh FFS 🤦🏻♀️ good job, CTV. Now the zombies are going to buy out paper towel like they did TP. Use cloth napkins or rags.
Tell trump to stop throwing them at people then.
Half the ppl who read this don't even clean or even take showers daily ... They probably use their pajamas to wipe down their counters 🤣🤣
That’s ok, just use toilet paper. Oh wait...
Is there really a shortage or is it an excuse to raise prices?
Intentionally starting a run on supplies? Disgraceful behaviour on your part .
Absolutely fake news!
STOP with the fear mongering. Just STOP
Spelling?
here we go ! first covid wave toilet paper! now the experts said we are in the second wave and it’s paper towel. OMG! just STOP.
Me RN
CouncillorMcRae paper towell shortage coming!
Hoarding again geez
I consider paper towel a luxury item. Works for me
Plenty still available at TheZellersStore
God dammit here we go again
Oh, rot!
You no longer influence sane/reasonable Canadians. You are already dead inside
How about using reusable and washable towels?
Who is the dweeb at CTV who reported this story? Now all the dumbasses are gonna go and panic buy all the paper towel.
Delete this before it causes hoarding
Now everyone that wears a mask and has a pallet of toilet paper in the basement is going to horde P towels. Bunch of flippin sheep. Listen don't think, idiot's.
Omg... honestly CTV... let's just get everyone running to the stores fighting over paper towels
Glad you announced this for the hoarders. 🙄
Is there a Shortage of NEWS channels We need one!
Idiot hoarders
Use towels. Problem solved.
Omg end of civilization
Nooooooooo
Here we go again, thanks CTV! panicbuying
Omg why are you reporting this crap?
