A friend in Victoria said a local grocer has gone 100% Canadian produce. He couldn’t sell US lettuce at cost. No one would buy it. He also refused an entire shipment of American produce. Keep up the good work people!

After yesterday's events in the White House, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway's largest marine fuel companies, appears to have announced that it will no longer refuel American Navy vessels.
Haltbakk has called on other European companies to refuse service to American forces.

Three years ago, I had the honour of collaborating with Ukrainian dancers from Edmonton via a virtual meeting. They taught me some Ukrainian dance moves, and I taught them some Bhangra moves. I'm sharing the video today in solidarity because standing with the oppressed is standing for lasting peace.

Been a big fan of Chapmans since they offered their freezers to store COVID vaccine, then didn’t back down when threatened with an anti-vaxxer boycott.
As a proud Canadian-owned and operated company, we want to do our part to support Canadians. As a family we have decided to absorb all immediate increases in our costs due to the Trump-tariffs for the rest of the year to maintain our prices. We will continue to reinforce our Canadian-first policies.
