If only ... Canadian coverage... almost as bad as losing Smarties

Cream cheese that's been a staple on Toronto grocery
shelves has been discontinued

Two popular brands of cream cheese are disappearing from Toronto
shelves, leaving countless bagels left un-schmeared as customers
scramble to find a decent replacement to slather all over their
breakfasts and brunches.

If you're a fan of Western Creamery or Libert cream cheese, now would
be a good time to drop everything, stock up, and deep freeze [a] a
long-term supply, as both of the brands have been discontinued.

[a] no, no, no. You can NOT freeze cream cheese

Forgive my ignorance, but tell me this isn’t an optional ingredient of poutine?

Because that would be a calamity.

Per a Canadian friend of mine (who is devastated by the
news her favorite cream cheeses are going bye bye, but
addresses this one point):

"No, real poutine requires cheese curds. Also a soft unripened cheese but
very different products. "
