Seed production happens under irrigation, I did it for a year. Unless there is hail in south Alberta there is no seed shortage.

Seed companies all grow some seed in the southern hemisphere, especially Chile. If seed production of some varieties is not enough to meet expected demand, they can increase acres down there. Most of it is harvested in February, so there's lots of time to get it cleaned and shipped to Canada for treating and bagging.

I agree , seed companies have the ability to crank out seed if need be.
Unless the irrigation water gets shut off or a massive hail storm wipes out everything and the crops in SA get destroyed there will be enough.
That being said , there will most likely not be a surplus either - it takes a while to to that
